Static images in the sm:image tag
This is how you can reference a static image asset inside the <sm:image /> tag, which can be useful when defining fallback images etc.
<sm:image value="/static/img/home-hero-placeholder.png" staticAsset="true" ... />
Use Terminal to base64 encode an image
Generate base64 version of an image:
openssl base64 < path/to/file
Do the same, but remove line breaks:
openssl base64 < path/to/file.png | tr -d '\n'
Do the above, but copy the result to the clipboard:
openssl base64 < path/to/file.png | tr -d '\n' | pbcopy
Imagemagick command to assemble images into a sprite
Change the dimensions and tile layout to suit the size of images and number of rows/columns you desire.
