Right...

using 

print '<html tags here>' 

you can use html tags that can be displayed on screen.  But when using
print '<img src"file.jpg">' 

doesn't work..I'm guessing it's something to do with the quotes,
right?  Are they any ways to tell Python to read in the whole tag,
ignoring quotes inside them???

Sorry about being too ambigous, I'm new at this groups thing..
