HTML: Adding images

There are two file types that are the de facto standard for images files on the Web - gifs and jpegs. Their file names end with .gif and .jpg. Gifs are usually used for images that have flat areas of color and jpegs for photographs and similar images. Other file types like png and the new vector formats may soon be gaining wider acceptance, but for now gifs and jpegs are the most widely used.

<IMG SRC="leaf.jpg">

Which appears like this:
