Hi,
If you are refering to Image files, Then you can use HTML's Image tage in XSL file.
Thanks.

Dear L Goundalkar,
Seems interesting. Do you have a small snippet of code you could post?

If you are attempting to transport an image using XML there are a few approaches you can take:
- Base64 encode the image and place it directly in the XML document. This makes for a HUGE XML file, though.
- Use SVG to render your image. SVG is one of those really cool technologies for XML. It is a vector graphics (hence the name 'Scalable Vector Graphics') format that uses XML to describe the image. Apache has a toolkit called Batik for formatting and manipulating images using SVG.
