I am trying to convert a book that I wrote into epub format for use with the iPad. I have the book on the web using html. There are 100 or so images in the book that I need in the epub format. I tried the first five pages with Sigil and the text came in fine. The images were the little blue boxes, indicating it didn't have a clue.

Part of my web code includes a base ref statement such as:

<BASE HREF="http://homepage.mac.com/efithian/Geometry/">

Each of the images has a reference such as:
<IMG SRC="P-05B.gif" ALIGN="BOTTOM">

I tried removed the HREF statement from the code, and removed the images from the page view, then inserted the images in the correct locations. That seems to work. Am I going through an unneccesary process?
