ConTeXt's direct XML processing allows a rather mighty management of pictures with an XML database.
XML database file
<figurelibrary language="en"> <description> <organization>Pragma ADE</organization> <project>ConTeXt Wiki</project> <product>prd_pictures</product> <comment>pictures for ConTeXt Wiki</comment> </description> <figure> <file>filename</file> <label>reference</label> <copyright>owner</copyright> <comment>comment</comment> </figure> <figure> ... </figure> ... </figurelibrary>
Making a PDF list
texexec --pdf --use=fig-make --mode=compact myfile
Use pictures from database
\usemodule [fig-base] \usefigurebase [myfile] \externalfigure [reference] % like in <label>
(is there a dtd or a relax ng schema somewhere out there? --pg)
