> 15 Converting to DITA XML > 15.6 Converting tables to DITA XML > 15.6.6 Converting tables used only as image containers
If you use tables to hold images in FrameMaker,
and the table title serves as the image caption, you can assign Mif2Go table type figure
to the FrameMaker table format. Table type figure
is an alias for table type simple
. Because
DITA requires a <fig>
element to have
its <title>
element (the image caption)
before the image, for table type figure
Mif2Go does the following:
<title>
element
<simpletable>
after the figure <title>
element
<fig>
element.
This keeps the images packaged more or less the way they are in your FrameMaker document. For example:
<fig id="ab998633"><title>Project configuration</title>
<stentry><image href="projcfg.gif" placement="inline"/></stentry>
To map a table format (for example, FigTable)
to Mif2Go table type figure
:
Also map the table title format (for example,
FigTitle) to the <title>
element:
To ensure that the title and table are properly
wrapped in a <fig>
element, specify <fig>
as the parent of the title format:
As an alternative, if you do not need the table itself in DITA, you can remove the table coding instead:
