Yes thank you,<br>
<br>
I thought of this as well, but It will be quite a hassle to get this
right.<br>
Images in tables, images in lists etc. all complicate things quite a
bit<br>
I would have to calculate for each image the possible width, and with all
those possible contexts it's not allways that easy.<br>
(calculate the print area width as you call it)<br>
<br>
However I will give it a try once more, thank you all for your
replies.<br>

<br>
</font>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 ?<br>
<br>
Grtz<br>
