Hi Radu,

Thank you for your reply. You are right – it’s the extra space that causes the issue.

I didn't suspect it at first because because even though I removed that space several times, it keeps getting added back automatically by some action.

I will keep an eye on it to see what causes that space to get added.

Regards,
Frank

Hello Frank,

I see you have an extra space in the "href" attribute value before the "data:" part, is it possible the error refers to that extra space in the href value?

If so you should remove that extra starting space from the @href value because the href attribute needs to contain an URI-like reference.

If not, would it be possible for you to send us directly (support@oxygenxml.com) a small DITA topic containing such an image with which I could reproduce the problem?

Regards,

Radu

Hi list,

In one of my Oxygen projects, I need to generate an HTML file from DITA sources without using any external links. To achieve this, I embed a few icons directly into the output file using the following DITA code:

<image href=" data:image/png;base64,iVBOR…” scope="external"/>

The … represents the remaining 1585 characters of the base64-encoded image data.

When I save the DITA file, Oxygen repeatedly displays the following error:

Description	Reference " data:image/png;base64  ,iVBOR…".
Severity	Error
Engine name	DITA Validation
Additional info	https://  www.oxygenxml.com/dita/ 1.3/specs/langRef/ attributes/  thehrefattribute.html

Despite the error message, the HTML transformation works correctly, and the output file is generated as expected.

How can I prevent Oxygen from displaying these error messages?

Freundliche Grüße | Best regards
