<span id="index-Images_002c-in-Info-format"></span>

<p>The <code>@image</code> command results in the following special directive
within the Info file (see <a href="Images.html">Images</a>):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">    &lt;image&gt; =
^@^H[image src=&quot;&lt;image file&gt;&quot;
            (text=&quot;&lt;txt file contents&gt;&quot;)?
            (alt=&quot;&lt;alt text&gt;&quot;)?
^@^H]
</pre></div>

<p>The line breaks and indentation in this description are editorial; the
whitespace between the different parts of the directive in Info files
is arbitrary.
</p>
<p>In the strings <tt>&lt;image file&gt;</tt>, <tt>&lt;txt file contents&gt;</tt> and <tt>&lt;alt
text&gt;</tt>, &lsquo;<samp>&quot;</samp>&rsquo; is quoted as &lsquo;<samp>\&quot;</samp>&rsquo; and &lsquo;<samp>\</samp>&rsquo; is quoted as
&lsquo;<samp>\\</samp>&rsquo;.  The txt and alt specifications are optional.
</p>
<p>The <tt>alt</tt> value serves the same purpose as in HTML: A prose
description of the image.  In text-only displays or speech systems,
for example, the <tt>alt</tt> value may be used instead of displaying the
(typically graphical) <tt>&lt;image file&gt;</tt>.
</p>
<p>The <tt>&lt;txt file contents&gt;</tt>, if present, should be taken as an ASCII
representation of the image, for possible use on a text-only display.
</p>
<p>The format does not prescribe the choice between displaying the
<tt>&lt;image file&gt;</tt>, the <tt>&lt;alt text&gt;</tt> or the <tt>&lt;txt file contents&gt;</tt>.
</p>
