Subject: admon graphics: GIF vs PNG
I am using openjade on sgml source on a Debian stable system. The admon graphics won't come out unless I use .gif graphics. GIF is bad, PNG is good, correct? Patent issues and what-not. Googling tells me that there is some way to change DSSSL to override the .gif extensions for admons (http://developers.cogentrts.com/cogent/prepdoc/pd-customizingthedssslstylesheets.html, search page for "override"). Most of what I am reading on the web is over my head. Questions: 1. I've got admons working with .gifs. Should I just move on or should I work to rid my docs of .gifs? What's the right thing to do? 2. If I should use the .pngs, then is there a recipe for modifying the DSSSL? 3. If .gifs are bad then why no .png equivalents in the docbook-dsssl-1.77/images directory? And why is the default admon image format GIF? 4. Do xml tools handle the .png admons out-of-the-box? 5. Are .png files for admons and callouts available or do they have to be converted using gimp for example? 6. OT: Is it socially acceptable to be using openjade and sgml these days? I appreciate any and all help or opinions. Thanks. -- Mike Mueller Registration No. 324881 (08/20/2003)
