How Web documents use images

When you insert an image into a Web document, the image data—the bits and bytes that represent the image—are not stored in the document. Instead, the Web document contains a link to the image. Like any Web link, an image link can refer to a file that is in the same folder as the document itself, or in a different folder, or on a different Web site altogether.

For example, the link to the image in the document fragment below:

The African bee Namo Web Editor 4.image.about.1.1 How Web documents use images is a feisty little critter.

might look like this in the document’s HTML source:

  <p>The African bee <img src="http://d2nwkt1g6n1fev.cloudfront.net/helpmax/wp-content/uploads/sub/webeditor/en/source/images/bee.jpg"> is  
   a feisty little critter.</p>  

In the example above, the image file (bee.jpg) resides in an “images” subfolder in the same folder as the document.

When you publishPublishing is the process of uploading Web documents and resource files to a Web server so that others can view them. a Web document, make sure to upload any image files that are used by the document in addition to the document itself. You should also make sure that the image files have the same path relative to the document on the Web server that they do on your local file system. If your document is part of a local siteA collection of documents and resource files on the local file system that are managed by Namo WebEditor as one whole. When a local site is published to the Web, the copy on the Web server is called the “remote site”., Namo WebEditor takes care of these details for you.
