#### 12.6.7 Images in HTML export

HTML export can inline images given as links in the Org file, and it can make an image the clickable part of a link. By default138, 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]]

If you need to add attributes to an inlined image, use a `#+ATTR_HTML`. In the example below we specify the `alt` and `title` attributes to support text viewers and accessibility, and align it to the right.

    #+CAPTION: A black cat stalking a spider
    #+ATTR_HTML: :alt cat/spider image :title Action! :align right
    [[./img/a.jpg]]

You could use `http` addresses just as well.
