Hi,
If by format you mean image format then png or jpeg at least, plus
anything else you want to support. If you meant syntax then something like
this:
<image x="0" y="0" width="161" height="60" xlink:href="Roc
Logo.gif"/>
This points to a .gif and works ok using the adobe viewer on win32.
hope this helps, Dunc.
