Usually of course not, but as Mario posted the patch and stated he
tested it, you probably can do it in this case.

But hey, now you're here I have a question: in the PHP code the default
scaling factor is 1, but in the TS configuration it defaults to 0.1. Why
the difference?

You could also use ex, but it probably wouldn't make much difference.
But the change should be easy. Anyway, to be forward compatible I advise
not to use any boolean switches like useEM, but something like
"dimUnit", "dimensionUnit" or simply "unit". The possible values are
"px" (the default), "em" and "ex".

You mean you want to use simply the intrinsic dimensions of the image
and neither use the sytle nor width/height attributes?

Percentage of what? I don't think that size of the surrounding container
will get you any reasonable results with generated code. Maybe if you
have columns with a fixed pixels size, but then the % doesn't make sense
either.
