In your document you can create a hypertext reference (a link) to one of the files located here. To create an embedded link, put a command like the one below in your document:
<IMG SRC="http://www.cs.kzoo.edu/images/category/image.gif" ALT="alternative text for people who can't view images" ALIGN=MIDDLE>The address of the image should appear as above, except that you should use the real name of the category and image you want instead of "category/image.gif." For example,
http://www.cs.kzoo.edu/images/bullets/redball.gifThe alignment specifies whether any text to the right of the image (such as a caption) should appear aligned with the TOP, the BOTTOM, or the vertical MIDDLE of the image.
To create a link to a picture that will appear in a separate window, you create a different type of command:
<a href="http://www.cs.kzoo.edu/images/category/image.gif"> text that acts as link</a>Remember to use the real name of the image you want instead of "category/image.gif." The "text that acts as link" is the colored or underlined text that users will click on to go to the image.
You can also create a link in your www or Sites directory to this directory. This makes it appear that the images are in a subdirectory of your own directory rather than in a central repository. To do this, type:
cd ~/www ln -s ~www/images imagesat your prompt on any CS machine. Once you have created this link, you can use the images in embedded links or ordinary links, as in the examples above. In this case, however, you do not need to fully specify the address of the image. For example, if your document and the link to the images directory are both in your www directory, you could create an embedded link like the following:
<IMG SRC="/images/image.gif" ALT="alternative text" ALIGN=TOP>
