I think what you are trying to do is have a small "thumbnail" as the visible
part of a hyperlink to a larger graphic, yes ?
In any case you'll want to: \usepackage{html}
Now there are various ways to do this, depending upon how much processing is
required to get the images into the required formats.
It could be *none at all*: e.g.
\htmladdnormallink{\htmladdimg{../images/figure1.gif}}{../images/figure1.tif}
This doesn't put anything at all into the LaTeX version.
That's OK, since it is best to use a macro anyway:
In the preamble, make conditional definitions:
%begin{latexonly}
\newcommand{\pictureA}{\includegraphics[..any options..]{images/figure1.eps}}
\newcommand{\pictureB}{\includegraphics ...
\newcommand{\pictureC}{\includegraphics ...
...
%end{latexonly}
\begin{htmlonly}
\newcommand{\pictureA}{\htmladdnormallink{%
\htmladdimg[..any options ..]{../images/figure1.gif}}{../images/figure1.tif}}
\newcommand{\pictureB}{\htmladdnormallink{%
\htmladdimg ... ....}}
\newcommand{\pictureC}{\htmladdnormallink{%
\htmladdimg ... ....}}
...
\end{htmlonly}
Check out the optionas available for \htmladdimg .
This is a technique that I use a lot.
See for example:
http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/GeoMath/GeoMath/node5.html
and related pages.
Another way is to use \htmlimage .
Consult a LaTeX2HTML User Guide to see how to use this to create thumbnails.
Hope this helps,
