If you're using the ldp.dsl, you need to change:
(define %admon-graphics%
;; Use graphics in admonitions?
#f)
Replace the "f" to "t". It's the same with docbook.dsl, so if you're
processing with Openjade, that will make sure they show up.
I also found in the ldp.dsl:
(define %admon-graphics-path%
;; use graphics in admonitions, set their
"../images/")
(define %admon-graphics%
#t)
...and...
(define %graphic-extensions%
;; graphic extensions allowed
'("gif" "png" "jpg" "jpeg" "tif" "tiff" "eps" "epsf" ))
(define %graphic-default-extension%
"gif")
Hope that helps, whichever stylesheet and processing tool you are using!
