scale-when-image-is-too-big<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hello there,<BR><BR>I work with
XSL FO files everynow and then, and mostly use FOP. Well not everything is
supported in fop so I started using XEP.<BR>Great results...except for my
graphics.<BR><BR>To my surprise I read that Xep currently doesn't support
content-width="scale-to-fit". For most of my publications this is
essential.<BR>Actually I do not want to scale if my image is small enough to
fit, but I do want to scale when my image is too large, so one could say
scale-to-fit is not a real solution either :-)<BR>I'm looking for a
<I>"scale-when-image-is-too-big"</I> sort of solution.<BR><BR>Has any of you
have some relevant experience with scaling images in XEP and maybe you can give
me some pointers here.<BR>I can't be the only one having this problem.... can I
