Re: [Dpubs-tech] [Dpubs-content] Images in HTML Articles

[David R. <dw...@co...>]

Hi Henry,

We talked about this here and see how it should be done. Essentially, 
the Importer needs to know to comb through any HTML files looking for 
referenced images, verify that these are included in the ingest 
package, pull those images into the repository, and (as the HTML doc 
is pulled in) alter the HTML image references so that they will be 
properly identified in the repository when the HTML document is 
viewed. As I noted below, we do something like this for the abstract 
in the metadata now, so we're not thinking it should be very 
difficult to add this.

What's your publication schedule like? When do you expect to load a 
second issue?  We're wondering when you need this. Whenever we get it 
added, you'll be able to reload issues and everything should work as 
you've got it now, except the images will be in the repository along 
with everything else.
