How to add a class attribute to a image

Hello,

I want to add a class attribute to my img tag.

      <informalfigure role="test1">
        <mediaobject role="test2">
          <imageobject  role="test3">
            <imagedata  role="test4" 
fileref="images/articles/common_law.png"/>
          </imageobject>
          <textobject><phrase>alt</phrase></textobject>
        </mediaobject>
      </informalfigure>

but the role attribute dont generate a class attribute.

<div class="informalfigure">
    <div class="mediaobject">
        <img alt="alt" src="images/articles/common_law.png"/>
    </div>
</div>

Any idea?

literal element db v5

I'm transforming from a 'visual' markup language (a wiki)
and I've come across 'monospace' as markup.

My best guess docbook 5 equivalent would be literal.
In order to not lose the semantics, I want looking
for the role attribute. literal has common
attributes, but role isn't one of them?

yet in the xi schema I see
   <define name="db.literal.role.attribute">
       <attribute name="role"/>
     </define>
     <define name="db.literal.attlist">
       <interleave>
         <optional>
           <ref name="db.literal.role.attribute"/>
         </optional>
         <ref name="db.common.attributes"/>
         <ref name="db.common.linking.attributes"/>
       </interleave>
     </define>
     <define name="db.literal">
       <element name="literal">
         <a:documentation>Inline text that is some literal 
value</a:documentation>
         <ref name="db.literal.attlist"/>
         <ref name="db._text"/>
       </element>

Is this a docbook omission?

RE: literal element db v5

Dave,

role is a valid attribute on literal and is a common
attribute.

I think the confusion is in the way it is defined in
the schema. While it is a common attribute, it is not
defined in db.common.attributes.

Instead, it is defined using a separate name for each
element (that's why you have db.literal.role.attribute).

Since role is user-defined, creating separate names for
each element lets customizers define the contents of
role independently for different elements.

So, it's a common attribute by virtue of being common,
but is defined separate from db.common.attributes so
that it can be customized.

BTW, literal is probably as close as you'll get for a
generic replacement for monospace.

Hope that helps.

You can now assume that how-to is covered by

which should be compatible with Debian.

So it is a tdg omission then?

Thanks Dick, I'll look for it in the new edition!

Well. At the very least, it's not very clear :-)

OK. Mmm. My problem I guess. I'd always noted odd
'omissions' in tdg, but assumed the content accurate.
Noting it wasn't showing at
http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/literal.html

I presumed it not valid.

Is it  one of those 'common' 'common' groupings?
Perhaps visible off
http://docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/ref-elements.html#common.attributes

Request that it be shown, if 'doable' please?

RE: Re: literal element db v5

I'll put that on the list of things to clarify
as we work on the next edition.

It doesn't show directly, but if you click through to "common attributes",
you'll find it listed.

Listing all 20 common attributes on every page would be confusing, I
think, and it would really hide the "unique" attributes on those
elements that have them.
