Uhm, no. If the image is part of a non-pre element, a newline is just
whitespace. And RFC 1866 forbids the use of <IMG> inside <PRE>.
<!ENTITY % pre.content "#PCDATA | A | HR | BR">
<!ELEMENT PRE - - (%pre.content)*>
(Yeah, <PRE><A NAME = FOO><IMG SRC = "foo.gif" ALT = "<>*@(&$#("></A></PRE>
is "legal", but I suppose that's just an oversight and not the intention.)
