  inline image
  
     <World-Wide Web> An image that appears within the body of a
     web page.  Most graphical web browsers can display both
     GIF and JPG images inline.  The web browser may give the
     user an option to turn off inline images, to speed up the
     display of web pages.
  
     Other image formats may have to be displayed in a separate
     window and/or by another application program.
  
     An inline image in a web page is achieved with the <IMG>
     HTML tag, which can take many attributes.  The SRC
     attribute gives the URL from which to fetch the image and
     the ALT attribute gives text to display in place of the image
     for users with images disabled or who are using text-only
     browsers or text-to-speech convertors (e.g. blind users).
