snapshot of table in FM for use as image in EPUB ebooks

[ray.lloyd at agfa.com]

Hi Rebecca,
Basically I want Webworks to create the snapshot image of the table 
automatically like it creates a thumbnail image of screenshots. All I need 
to do that is put a marker on top of the image. So I've experimented with 
frames and markers but it's not doing anything.
As you say, I could insert alternative images for the EPUB output and work 
with conditions but this is too much effort for an extra output format 
which is more of a novelty at the current time.

I'll be moving this to the backburner for the time being but any ideas are 
still welcome. Yes, SVG would be nice but I would be happy with PNG ;)

Keep well,
Ray

Hi Ray
 
Is your question about how to have both the snapshot and the original 
table in your FM doc, but have webworks only use the snapshot?
 
If so, use conditional text. It was designed for stuff like that. 
 
Feel free to ask if you need more info.
 
Cheers
Rebecca

I was thinking along the lines of adding some kind of frame, marker on top 
of tables (in existing documents). 
This would provide a workaround for complex tables problem in EPUB ebook 
output caused by known limitation of this format ... nothing to do with 
Webworks ;) 
Thanks for info.
