Images are not technically inserted into a web page; images are linked to web
pages. The <img> tag creates a holding space for the referenced image.
The <img> tag is empty, it contains attributes only, and does not have a closing
tag.
Note: When a web page loads, it is the browser, at that moment, that gets the image
from a web server and inserts it into the page. Therefore, make sure that the image
actually stays in the same spot in relation to the web page, otherwise your
visitors will get a broken link icon. The broken link icon and the alt text are
shown if the browser cannot find the image.
Example
<img src="img_chania.jpg" alt="Flowers in Chania">
