10.2.4 Images

HTML export can inline images given as links in the Org-mode file, and it can make an image the clickable part of a link. By default1, images are inlined if a link does not have a description. So `[[file:myimg.jpg]]' will be inlined, while `[[file:myimg.jpg][the image]]' will just produce a link `the image' that points to the image. If the description part itself is a file: link or a http: URL pointing to an image, this image will be inlined and activated so that clicking on the image will activate the link. For example, to include a thumbnail that will link to a high resolution version of the image, you could use:

     [[file:highres.jpg][file:thumb.jpg]]

and you could use http addresses just as well.
