Hi Martin,

You are using incorrect format for the Content tag. The "data:image/png;base64," piece is not necessary, just the png content converted to base64.

Here is an example of correct usage:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Subject: [mapguide-users] Custom Symbols...

I'm trying to embed a PNG into a custom symbol.  When I use the code below I get the error shown at the bottom.  If I remove this section it works (without my PNG of course).  How should the <IMAGE> tag be used?  Any clues?

Thanks,
Martin
