Embed inline view #

This page is for designers who style objects embedded inside a sentence of rich text, not as a block. The tag embed-inline uses the view mode of the same name.

Templates #

• content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/embed-inline.tpl (and embed-inline_node.tpl for nodes) is the tag template.
• content/view/embed-inline.tpl and node/view/embed-inline.tpl draw the object; override them per class with Source=content/view/embed-inline.tpl.
• content.ini [embed-inline] holds AvailableViewModes[], AvailableClasses[] and CustomAttributes[] for the editor.

Stay inline #

The output goes inside a paragraph, so it must contain only inline elements: <a>, <span>, <img>, <abbr>. A <div> or <figure> would break the paragraph (browsers close it before the block).

{* override/templates/embed-inline/file.tpl *}
<span class="inline-file">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$object.data_map.file}</span>

The shipped content/datatype/view/ezbinaryfile.tpl prints an inline download link with the file name and size (content/download/<object>/<attribute>/version/<version>/file/<name>), so it can be reused here as it is.

Typical uses #

• A small linked name of another article.
• A file link with its type.
• A tiny image (an icon or a flag) with alt text.
