Thanks for looking into this. So, there is reason to use the ^H (we
could also drop the '[' and ']'). This is what I used in for the next
version:
address@hidden address@hidden
where PARAMETER nor VALUE may contain a address@hidden Also, VALUE may not
a contain space or double quote, or VALUE is enclosed in double
quotes (using \" to escape). A typical tag would look like:
address@hidden src=/usr/share/doc/lilypond/example-1.png alt="Alt text
for text image browser"address@hidden
where the value of the ALT parameter contains the image's .TXT file.
Currently, only the 'src parameter is actually used.

Hmm, I'm not going to do this, primarily because I see not much reason.
Typically, all info documentation will also be present in HTML form
(on Debian GNU/Linux at least), so they should use the same (external)
image files.

I think I addressed most of your remarks in my next version:
http://lilypond.org/~jan/info-image
If this seems OK, I'll have a look at makeinfo to produce the image tags.
Greetings,
Jan.
