I'm trying to write documentation for my project in QuickBook and I have a little question: is it possible to escape to direct HTML markup from QuickBook (or BoostBook) source?
I'm trying to add imagemap as, for example, in this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/ht...
FWIW I wanted to do this too. I found the laziest solution was to provide a link to an external html file containing the map. After a brief look in the DocBook documentation, I believe that DocBook can achieve similar functionality to a HTML map but it will take some searching though the documentation to unearth the details.
Looks like <mediaobjectco> is what you want: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/mediaobjectco.html From QuickBook, you'll need to escape to BoostBook and write your image map using mediaobjectco XML tags. It's never been tried before, so it's anybody's guess what our XSL transforms will make of these tags. -- Eric Niebler Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
