[SOLVED] Antenna House Force Close on Use of "external-graphic"

Antenna House Force Close on Use of "external-graphic"

I am editing a xsl style sheet which is currently in use. Put a piece of code to display a png image which is generated into base64 string. When I try to format the output by using the UI of Antenna House, it force closed. Code is copy from AH website

If I use a real external image file by the same tag, it can show without problem. But, it just force close if I use the base64 string.

Solution

Support for the 'data:' scheme was added in AH Formatter V3.2, AFAICT. You will have to update your AH Formatter version if you want to use the 'data:' scheme.

If you want to use an inline image, you could try using an SVG version of the QR code, but I have no information on the level of SVG support in V2.3. Otherwise, you will have to use an external image file, which you stated is working without a problem.
