Your options are either to do it at build time (a small change to the replace_images() function of your gsdlperllibpluginsHTMLPlug.pm file) or to do it at run time by altering the C++ code to parse the output as you suggest (you'd probably do that in the output_text() function of gsdlsrcrecptdocumentaction.cpp). Doing it at build time would be easier but would require the collection(s) to be rebuilt. By doing it at runtime you could add a CGI argument to make it possible to turn on/off the image replacement process when required. regards, Stefan.
