Add an Inline Image with Insert Menu
When you edit a topic, you have access to the Insert menu with different image types (figure, image, inline image, or side-by-side images).
-
Place your cursor where you want to add an image. The position of the cursor is important, as you can only add an image where it is valid. For example, if you are inserting an image or figure, you could place the cursor after a
paraelement. But if you are inserting an inline image, you would need to place the cursor inside theparaelement. -
Select the Insert menu.
-
Select Image and then select the type of image you want to add:
Paligo adds the image elements that are needed for the structure.
-
In the dialog that opens, browse or search for the image in your Media library.
Note
If the dialog does not open automatically, right-click on the placeholder icon for the image and select Image browser.
Note
If the image is not in the Media library yet, you can upload it directly in this dialog by using the upload icon in the top-right.
To find out more about uploading images, see Upload Images.
-
Select the image to insert it into your topic.
Note
To use alt text in PDF outputs, it is important that you do not use tagged PDFs as images. For PDFs to use alt text, the layout has to have Generate tagged PDF enabled. The PDF processor cannot complete the publishing if your content contains tagged PDFs as images and Generate tagged PDF is enabled. You will need to use untagged PDFs as images or use different types of image files.
If you try to publish content that has a tagged PDF embedded as an image and the Generate tagged PDF enabled, you will get a "production failed" error.

Select Save.
