How does one turn a windoze path into a valid path for a relative image source?
Start with this:

<img src="G:\PerryE\Images\Perry\Harvard Five F Schol Pic.jpg" width="75%" alt="Flying School Five" />

Are the windoze back slashes 'poison' to a relative source attribute?

 From a web search, it seems so. But altering them to a forward slash didn't help.

<img src="G:/PerryE/Images/Perry/Harvard Five F Schol Pic.jpg" width="75%" alt="Flying School Five" />

Are spaces in filenames valid?

If not, should they be filled with an under-line character?

Concatenated?

What of drive letters?

If I move the image to they same root/directory and rename it so this is the path: C:/HarvardPic.jpg

.. . . it works as desired,  but ONLY if I remove the drive letter and slash:

<img src="HarvardPic.jpg" width="75%" alt="Flying School Five" />

As I'm presently in teach-yourself-html mode, I appreciate that this is to some extent
academic, as my image references are relative and once actually on the www, they'll
be absolute.

Nonetheless, it would be nice to understand the syntax for locally referenced images
when using the
file://localhost/C:/mywebpage.html
.. . . type of URL for an image located in a different drive and/or folder.
