LaTeX-Template for Inline Images
================================
If you want your document to be self contained, you might want to decare inline images in base64 encoding.
Just use:
\usepackage{inline-images}
\inlineimg{<filename>}{<base64 encoded raw image data>}
This creates a file `<filename>.base64` containning a copy of the raw image data, then a sytsem shell is executed to convert the raw data to the binary image and a file `<filename>` is created, which is then include in your document.
**Note:** The LaTeX compiler must be able to execute system commands, so option `--shell-escape` is required.
**Note:** It is desiged for Unix systems and it requires the command line tool `base64` installed. Compilation calls `base64 -d <filename>.img.base64 > <filename>.img`.
Example
=======
This [example code]:
```latex
\documentclass[a5]{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=6cm,paperheight=4cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{inline-images}
\newcommand{\img}{iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAMgAAADIC … BQ8f/JOcTkviE7+QAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==}
\begin{document}
\inlineimg{example.png}{\img}

\end{document}
```
After compilation:
xelatex --shell-escape -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode example.tex
Results in this [example document]:
