thumbnails

To embed base64 image data into documents for reliable offline rendering, you convert thumbnail images into data URIs and substitute them during template generation. This creates self-contained files that render without external network requests.

External thumbnail images fail to render in generated documents when external image loading is blocked or the network is restricted. Converting these images to inline base64 data URIs ensures they display reliably within the deliverable.

The best way to inline Adology thumbnails in empathy canvases and insight briefs is to use a deterministic Python method to fetch image data, convert it to data URIs, and swap thumbnail sources during the document rendering workflow.

Yes, inline base64 image embedding works with restricted networks. By fetching image data and converting it to data URIs beforehand, the generated documents become self-contained and bypass external image loading restrictions.

You should use direct URLs instead of data URIs for thumbnail rendering when offline rendering is acceptable and external image loading is reliable. This fallback approach prevents unnecessary file size increases in unrestricted network environments.
