# wml::des::lowsrc(3)

Create Image and LOWSRC-Attribute for IMG-Tag

## NAME

wml::des::lowsrc - Create Image and LOWSRC-Attribute for IMG-Tag

## SYNOPSIS

```
 #use wml::des::lowsrc
 <img ...src="image.ANY" <lowsrc "image.ANY"> ...>
```

## DESCRIPTION

This creates an *image.lowsrc.ANY* file out of the *image.ANY* one containing only a monochrome bitmap (black/white) of the image's content and prints out the corresponding `"lowsrc="image.lowsrc.gif""` string.

This include file needs the external program *convert* from the *ImageMagick* package which can be found on http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/.
