When building HTML ouput, texi2any expects to find image files in the same directory as the .texi input files, but for the HTML to be rendered correctly, they need to be in the same directory as the output files. These are generally different directories. According to the manual, "Image files referred to from the Texinfo manual, if found, are copied to subdirectories of the container directory", but this is only for EPUB output. Shouldn't this happen for HTML output as well? If not, how is this normally handled? My image files are generated, so I don't have an explicit list of files, but I can still copy them easily enough because they're the only jpg files in the source directory. It could be more complicated in other situations I imagine and in the end texi2any is best placed to take care of this, as it knows which the files in question are. Dimitris
