Best Practices

Embedded images slow the Editor

• [ ] Put images outside the Draft/Manuscript and refer to them with $img tags.

Images can make a project huge

• [ ] Keep large images outside the project entirely, in an external folder.

Issues

1) Different size requirements for different Compiles

• [ ] large for a print on demand PDF
• [ ] small for a docx sent to an editor

2) Pathnames vary

• [ ] different user names
• [ ] "/" on the Mac
• [ ] "\" on Windows
• [ ] a folder for each image size
• [ ] other organizational differences

3) Manual adjustments are tedious

• [ ] wide for print on demand (Mac)

• [ ] narrow for DOCX sent to an Editor (Windows)
