The reason for this is that a fig may not contain text and is really meant to contain only "block elements" (the only exception being image). See http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part2-tech-content/contentmodels/cmtcf.html#cmtcf__fig In order to solve your problem, simply wrap your pair of images into a paragraph, that is, replace: --- <fig> <title>Icon for black background (left) and white background (right)</title> <image href="../graphics/statusBar/bat_level_3_inv.svg" placement="inline" scale="40"/> <image href="../graphics/statusBar/bat_level_3.svg" placement="inline" scale="40"/> </fig> --- by: --- <fig> <title>Icon for black background (left) and white background (right)</title> <p><image href="../graphics/statusBar/bat_level_3_inv.svg" scale="40"/> <image href="../graphics/statusBar/bat_level_3.svg" scale="40"/></p> </fig> --- ********************************************************************************************* Worldline SA/NV - Chaussee de Haecht 1442 Haachtsesteenweg - 1130 Brussels - Belgium RPM-RPR Bruxelles-Brussel - TVA-BTW BE 0418.547.872 Bankrekening-Compte Bancaire-Bank Account 310-0269424-44 BIC BBRUBEBB - IBAN BE55 3100 2694 2444 "The information contained in this e-mail and any attachment there to be confidential and may contain information which is protected by intellectual property rights.
