[xep-support] Scaling of images

[Daragh Pender]

I seem to have found a solution with:

<fo:external-graphic src="url({$href})" content-width="scale-to-fit"
content-height="100%" width="100%" scaling="uniform"/> 

it is very particular about quotes and/or double-quotes !!

...there is probably a better way of implementing this - but I can find
very little instruction available on the web.

The &#xA; is coming from the fact you have a new-line in the stylesheet
text node for the attribute.  Otherwise, it looks like your <image>
element doesn't have a src= attribute.  Have you spelled it correctly?
Can you post a excerpt of your XML and the XSL-FO created for that XML?

Right ... but nothing is obviously wrong.  If you wanted to make things
more succinct you could have used an attribute value template:

<fo:external-graphic content-width="scale-to-fit" content-height="100%"
                      width="100%" scaling="uniform"
                      src='url("{@src}")'/>

But other than that it looks fine to me (though I am bleary eyed in the
middle of the morning).  I suspect you have a typo.
