Images are unfortunately unportable. The various Skribe output
formats support different image formats. For instance, HTML supports
gif
and jpeg
while the LaTeX back-end only supports
ps
. Skribe tries, only when needed, to automatically
convert images to a format supported by the target
to be produced. For this, it uses external tools. The default Skribe
translation scheme is:
- Do not translate an image that needs no conversion.
- Uses the
fig2dev
external tool to translate
Xfig
images.
- Uses the
convert
external tools to translate all
other formats.
