Add Images to the Repository
¶ Prior Reading
This documentation presupposes that you know how to work in the command line and add
and commit files:
¶ Rationale
Born-digital documents (information pages, documentation, critical paratexts, annotations,
and so on) will often need to link to images of documents, screenshots, icons, and
other graphical components. In documentation, images are often essential and always
clarifying. In editions, images lend visual support to an argument. In anthologies,
images give the anthology a brand identity that reflects its purpose. The first step
to using images is adding them to the repository.
¶ Practice: Image Location
LEMDO does not have a centralized image database. Instead, we save images in a location
that is proximate to the files in which they will be used. There are three main locations
for images:
Images for anthologies: data/anthologies/[anthology]/site/images: Use this location for images which are used only in a specific anthology. For example: data/anthologies/qme/site/images/qme_welcome.jpg
Images for an edition: data/texts/[portfolio]/images Use a portfolio location for images which are only used in a specific text or edition. For example: data/texts/H5/images/H5_Genealogy.png
Images for documentation: data/images: Use this location only for images which are likely to be used in multiple different pages, editions, sites
or projects, or in documentation.
¶ Practice: Naming Image Files
All image file names must end with a period followed by the image file extension (i.e.,
.jpg or .png). The file extension must be in lowercase letters only.
LEMDO has specific naming protocol for image files that are saved in anthologies and
image files that are saved in edition portfolios:
Images for anthologies: File names must be prefixed by the anthology id and an underscore. For example: qme_welcome.jpg
Images for editions: File names must be prefixed by the portfolio id and an underscore. For example: H5_Genealogy.png
Images for documentation: File names should be prefixed by the name of the documentation
file that you will use the image in and an underscore. For example: learn_altText_duckRabbit.jpg
¶ Adding Multiple Images: Step-by-Step
Specific instructions for each operating system:
Before you add images to the repository, make sure they are edited and sized appropriately.
Save them as .jpg or .png files. See
Choose Image Types and Sizes.
It may sometimes be necessary to add multiple formats of the same file; this is particularly
applicable for image files. Suppose that the following image files exist: moms_hughAlley_mayor.jpg and moms_hughAlley_mayor.png. Follow the steps below to upload both files at the same time:
Change directory (
cd
) into the images directory using the command line.Enter
moms_hughAlley_mayor.*
into the commmand line (The asterix symbol in this command means anything. By replacing the file extension with the asterix symbol, this single command adds
the .jpg file and the .png file together).Commit the files.
¶ Good Practice
In theory, there is no limit to the number of images that documentation, anthology
aboutpages, and editions can include. Good practice, however, is to include only images that serve a necessary purpose.
