ICON -- small documentation graphic or icon of common attachment types

Generates a small graphic image from the set attached to DocumentGraphics. Images typically have a 16x16 pixel size. You can select a specific image by name, or you can give a full filename, in which case the type of the file will be used to select one of a collection of common file type icons. If you specify an icon which cannot be found, the one specified in the default parameter will be used (and if that fails, the else icon will be used)

Parameters

Examples

• %ICON{"flag-gray"}% displays as
• %ICON{"pdf"}% displays as
• %ICON{"docx" default="doc"}% displays as
• %ICON{"smile.pdf"}% displays as
• %ICON{"/dont/you/dare/smile.pdf"}% returns
• %ICON{"data.unknown" alt="Unknown file type"}% displays as
• %ICON{"data.unknown"}% displays as

• Graphics: arrowbright, bubble, choice-yes, hand
• File types: bmp, doc, gif, hlp, html, mp3, pdf, ppt, txt, xls, xml, zip

If you find that ICON is producing broken HTML when it is used in another macro e.g. for formatting search results, then this may be because it is using the wrong kind of quotes for the context. In this case you can control the quotes it uses using the quote parameter. For example

• %ICON{"pdf" quote="'"}%

You can also use formatting tokens such as $quot and $dollar in quote.
