Image number can also be shown, if needed to identify images on the page.
HTML image tag is now configurable, so you can choose to add height/width tags to your images. This allows you to put images in a different location tha the HTML file, or even on a different server. Just change the path to the image, e.g. by making your TAG look like this:
<img src="http://myimageserver.com/images/%3/%4" heigth=%6 width=%7>
The '%3' will be replaced by the output folder name that the HTML file is located in, i.e. the page subdirectory. This is to allow you to put images in the same hierarchy as the HTML files.
