<inline-media> Inline Media Object

Description of and pointer to an external file that holds an inline media object (for example, a pronunciation file for a word or character).

Usage/Remarks

The element <inline-media> relates to the <media> element as the <inline-graphic> element relates to <graphic>.
The “content” of the <inline-media> element is not the media object itself, but information concerning the object and a pointer to the object. The external file that contains the object is named by the @xlink:href attribute.
Related Elements

The elements <media> and <inline-media> contain a pointer to a non-XML, frequently binary, object (such as a movie, audio clip, dataset, pronunciation file, or other non-XML format).
