    SRC               - This is the file name of the picture
                        (use path if in a different directory
    HEIGHT (optional) - Define the height of the picture
    WIDTH  (optional) - Define the width of the picture
    HSPACE (optional) - Define horizontal space from text
    VSPACE (optional) - Define vertical space from text
    ALT (optional)    - Puts text description on graphic on mouseover
