Formatted inline.

If possible, the processing system should use the content of the first object within the inlinemediaobject. If the first object cannot be used, the remaining objects should be considered in the order that they occur. A processor should use the first object that it can, although it is free to choose any of the remaining objects if the primary one cannot be used.

Under no circumstances may more than one object in an inlinemediaobject be used or presented at the same time.

For example, an inlinemediaobject might contain a high-resolution image, a low-resolution image, and a text description. For print publishing, the high-resolution image is used; for online systems, either the high- or low-resolution image is used, possibly including the text description as an online alternative. In a text-only environment, the text description is used.
