docbook: Thread: LDP Docbook Graphics

I've been learning docbook for a tutorial I'm creating.  I have a
decent understanding of the xml, however I can't seem to figure out how
LDP includes the graphics next to certain sections, eg "pointing hand"
next to a note.

I've tried using the LDP DSSL, but while the general appearance mirrors
that of the LDP, the graphics are notably missing.  The
LDP-Author-Guide was helpful insofar as using the LDP DSSL, but I
couldn't find any mention of the "annotation" graphics.  I've read
about inserting graphics in docbook, but would much prefer to not have
to do this manually.  Am I missing something?

For reference, the Makefile I'm using to convert my xml to html is
attached.  (Also uploaded to http://arbornet.org/~eibwen/Makefile in
case attachments are scrubbed).

TIA!

If I recall the DSSSL correctly, you need something like,

  (define %admon-graphics% #t)

There is a syntax for telling jade to create this definition on the
command line, but I forget what it is.


Hope that helps,

That is correct. It is set that way (t=true; use them) in ldp.dsl 
for HTML file creation.

There's another DSSSL item of interest:

(define %admon-graphics-path%
  ;; use graphics in admonitions, set their path
  "../images/")

which dictates *where* to look for the graphics.

If you want to do this using the XSL style sheets there is a file
called 'param.xsl' that has the option in it.

Look for a line like this:

<xsl:param name="admon.graphics" select="0"/>

To get graphics, change the "0" to a "1".

There are other parameters for graphics path and file extension
similar to the DSSSL.
