So what appears above as "picture.png" should actually be:-

    http://server.mylan/pictures/picture.png

(fictional address but that's the idea)

...or for a relative address:-

(or something like that, does it need anything more?)

I'm using rst2html.

Not that I can see.  It's being run from PHP with stderr being
redirected to a file, that file is zero length (but does exist) so I
don't think there are any errors being reported.
