Using Asciidoc callouts for screenshots? #8

Open unfa opened 6 years ago

unfa commented 6 years ago

I've found a feature called callouts:

https://asciidoctor.org/docs/asciidoc-syntax-quick-reference/#source-code

image

I wonder if we could use this for screenshots? I guess we could reskin it with a custom CSS file to suit our look later. This could make annotating screenshots much easier and less destructive.

Perhaps?

I'm not sure if there would be any problem with using them with images or not.

I think they would be great as they would provide uniform and skinnable way of annotating different parts of a screenshot, however I have no idea how to place these callouts on an image within an document.

Looking for a way to reuse screenshots with differents highlithings, I found your post. And this link to an aspect of SVG that could be usefull : Other content in SVG

I'm still testing it in real use cases (using Inkscape), but 'wrapping' a screenshot into an SVG file, that can be rendered by asciidoctor could be a kind of workarround to this problematic (no image edit, just add elements in svg, one screenshot can be used multiple times in differents svg files).
