Hello,
|
|
|
|
We should accept the following and only the following formats:
|
|
|
|
1. Gif
|
|
2. JPG
|
|
3. EPS (for the postcript output)
|
|
|
|
I don't like gif anymore than the next guy, so use JPG.

<CITE>
|
|
<CITE>What versions or IE4?
|
|
<CITE>
|
|
<CITE>IMHO the format LDP uses in HTML documents should be "good-old"
|
|
<CITE>(and unfortunately patented) GIF.
|
|
<CITE>
|
|
<CITE>The usability of documentation should not be dictated by technology
|
|
<CITE>nor by politics. JPEG is bad because it looses data and PNG is bad
|
|
<CITE>because not everyone will see it(?).
|
|
<CITE>
|
|
<CITE>So, my suggestion is to take a deep breath, buy some GIF compression
|
|
<CITE>utility (xv comes to mind) and make the GIFs for the docs. That way
|
|
<CITE>end-users will be happy, and the authors won't need to pretend that
|
|
<CITE>we have a good-for-all substitute for GIFs (someday this will be PNG,
|
|
<CITE>but obviously we're not there yet!).

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
|
|
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
