Image linking

If you embed an image in a document or link an image as an external resource, StoryTeller embeds the resource in the HTML by default.

If you use linked images in StoryTeller, it is possible to link the images also in the HTML output. To do this, you specify the following Custom property in File > Processing Properties > Custom Properties:

Name	Value
linkedresources	<Regular expression>

If <Regular expression> matches an image URI, the URI is used directly in the HTML output and no image resource is generated.

The image linking can be overridden by the Link images setting on the HTML unpaginated driver.

Example 1

Link images except those stored on local host/network

To use image URIs directly in the HTML output for images that are not referenced from the localhost or the local network, you can specify the following regular expression:

^http://(?!localhost[/:]|192\.168\.)

This means that if the URI starts with http:// the image URIs are kept in the output, except in the following cases:

http://localhost/

http://localhost:

http://192.168.
