Excerpt

This page describes how to style the various elements of figures. This includes figure captions, accessibility text, and figure credits. The images themselves are not part of the XML file; the XML includes pointers to separate graphic files.


Figure Caption, Figure Caption Continued, Figure Accessibility Caption, Figure Credit

As for tables, the Figure Caption style is used for the figure number and the first paragraph of the figure caption. If the caption extends to a second or subsequent paragraph, the Figure Caption Continued style should be used.

...

The Figure Credit style is used for a paragraph that contains information about the source of the image and/or details of any permissions obtained.

Graphic

The actual graphic itself does not form part of the XML. Instead, the XML includes a pointer to the image file, represented by the @xlink attribute of the graphic element. By default, the filename in this pointer is constructed automatically from the manuscript Article ID entered during activation of the Word file and an incremental counter. In the example below, this givesĀ @xlink:href="123-f1" for the first image in a document with ID 123.

If the images are embedded in the Word file and are retained in the file at the point that the document is exported to XML, these paragraphs should be styled as Non-XML Text in order to avoid parsing errors or the presence of extraneous elements in the XML.


Info

If you need to specify a graphic file name that does not match what eXtyles would generate during the XML Export process, you can use the <graphics> tag to do so. Use the Insert Tag menu to insert a <graphics> tag at the end of the Figure Caption. Inside of the tags, enter the file name of the graphic; for example:

Figure 1. This is a figure<graphic>biotes-10-100-e001</graphic>
