Re: Naive question about the image directive

If you are going to use relative URLs, they need to be relative to where
the HTML page resides, not to where the rst text is.

So, if your page ends at http://foo.bar/boo/this.html with a relative URL
to the image of "DSCF6584.JPG" then the image better be available at
http://foo/bar/boo/DSCF6584.JPG or it will not work.
