17.3.3.9 drawing (DrawingML Object)

This element specifies that a DrawingML object is located at this position in the run’s contents. The layout properties of this DrawingML object are specified using the WordprocessingML Drawing syntax (§20.4).

[Example: Consider a run which consists of a picture which is in line with the text in that paragraph (i.e. on the line and affects the line height). That run would be specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:r>
<w:drawing>
<wp:inline>
…
</wp:inline>
</w:drawing>
</w:r>

The drawing element indicates that a DrawingML object and its WordprocessingML Drawing positioning data are located at the current position in the run (e.g. a picture or a chart). end example]
