MD in DITA line break after image

[sta1ewar]

Hello everyone. I use MD files in DITAMAP and then transform the entire book to HTML.
breaks are added after inline graphics. No matter what syntax I use, which dita-ot version and which format (xhtml, html5, iiRDS).

Looking at the DITA content generated from the Markdown content by the DITA OT when publishing, it looks like this, it does not have a placement=break attribute:

    <image class="- topic/image " href="..my.jpg"
        xtrf=".."
        xtrc="image:1;12:9" dita-ot:image-width="249" dita-ot:image-height="171"
        dita-ot:horizontal-dpi="150" dita-ot:vertical-dpi="150">
        <alt class="- topic/alt "
            xtrf=".."
            xtrc="alt:1;12:9">washing the car</alt>
    </image>

Then looking at the XSLT template which processes the DITA XML image:
DITA-OT/plugins/org.dita.html5/xsl/topic.xsl

<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/image ')]" name="topic.image">

it has this condition inside it:

<!-- build any post break indicated by style -->
<xsl:if test="not(@placement = 'inline')"><br/></xsl:if>

so it seems to rely on the fact that when regular DITA topics are processed the placement = 'inline' attribute comes as default from the DTDs.

@jelovirt I would see two possible fixes for this:

(1) Change inside the "org.dita.html5/xsl/topic.xsl" the "not(@placement = 'inline')" to "(@placement = 'break')" or
(2) From the DITA to Markdown converter plugin generate in general placement=inline as an attribute on inline image.

Thank you so much.
Placement is the keyword.
My fault was to use Display=„inline“. I use placement=“inline“ now and it works well.
