Re: Displaying images for html output

[Christopher Dimech]

It is the fifth and I still get the Alt Text Attribute.

The output was

../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg

If I put

@image{../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,.png}

I get AltText

But now I have understood the problem,

Although the file exists at ../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg.png
because the html index file resides in a subdirectory generated by texi2any, the
code got to be changed to

@image{../../Ideogr/Ch03b--Chmed/igc03--01--Sicl--CircAmRg,8cm,8cm,AltText,png}

Furthermore, you cannot put ".png" as the fifth argument because for html that 
will
fail.  You have to put "png", without the period dot.
