| - | * **Image_path** - This is the path to the image file which should be placed into the document. It can be a fully qualified URL (web address), or a relative address to an image stored within **//LostPlot//**. In the latter case, use the syntax ''images:'' followed by the image name, such as ''images:johns_passport.png''. It is usual practice to avoid using spaces in file names, but where unavoidable replace spaces in the tag with a '+' symbol (the conventional web syntax for a space, preventing interpretation as a real syntax-relevant space). This will maintain the tag syntax, but still allow the display of images with spaces embedded in their file name. | + | * **Image_path** - This is the path to the image file which should be placed into the document.

| * **Alt Text** - This component is a requirement of the web standards to provide a caption for the image where the image file can not be displayed (such as a missing file, but more importantly for text-readers).

A prefix can be added to the Alt Text field however, which describes how the image is displayed in the __Document__ pane (see below). | * **Alt Text** - This component is a requirement of the web standards to provide a caption for the image where the image file can not be displayed (such as a missing file, but more importantly for text-readers).
