Returns an HTML image tag for thesource. The source can be a full path or a file.

Options

You can add HTML attributes using theoptions. The options supports three additionalkeys for convenience and conformance:

• :alt - If no alt text is given, the file name part of thesource is used (capitalized and without the extension)

• :size - Supplied as "{Width}x{Height}" or "{Number}", so"30x45" becomes width="30" and height="45", and "50" becomes width="50" andheight="50". :size will be ignored if the value is not in thecorrect format.
