Inserting Images

To insert an image in a document while editing in Author mode, use one of the following methods:

Click the Insert Image action from the toolbar and choose the image file you want to insert. Oxygen XML Editor tries to reference the image with a path that is relative to that of the document you are currently editing. For example, if you want to add the file:/C:/project/xml/dir/img1.jpg image into the file:/C:/project/xml/doc1.xml document, Oxygen XML Editor inserts a reference to dir/img1.jpg. This is useful when multiple users work on a common project and they have it stored in multiple locations.
Note: The Insert Image action is available for the following document types: DocBook 4, DocBook 5, DITA, TEI P4, TEI P5, XHTML.
Drag an image from other application and drop it in the Author editing mode. If it is an image file, it is inserted as a reference to the image file. For example, in a DITA topic the path of the image file is inserted as the value of the href attribute in an image element:
```
<image href="../images/image_file.png"/>
```
Note: To replace an image, just drag and drop a new image over the existing one. Oxygen XML Editor will automatically update the reference to the new image.
Copy the image from another application (such as an image editor) and paste it into your document. Oxygen XML Editor prompts you to first save it. After saving the image, a reference to that file path is inserted at the paste position.
