[l2h] Using JPG images in Latex2HTML

[Carsten Detlefs]

The most straightforward way is to use the graphicx package, and not
specify the extention (this means you cannot use dots in the file name)

...

\usepackage{graphicx}

...

\includegraphics[width=0.5\columnwidth]{picture}

...

this will look for picture.eps when compiled with LaTeX, 
picture.pdf, picture.png, or picture.jpg when compiled with pdfLaTeX,
and I don't know what exactly when run through latex2html, but it does
accept .jpg. BTW, the "width" parameter is not taken into account by l2h.

Note that this screws up for file names like "picture.1.jpg", as
"picture.1" would be interpreted as file-type ".1"; the extention
".jpg" is not added if a "." occurs in the file name. Dots may appear in
the path, though, "../pictures.all/picture" is OK.

This does mean changing the original source code, but the changes are
quite mechanical and could probably done by an awk script or something
similar. 

Hope this helps. 

Cheers,
       Carsten
