It was several years ago now that I was trying this but the fact that it
was somewhat quirky/unusual/outside the remit of -log2html- to be doing
is probably why I didn't report anything.

This quick example shows that it wasn't straight-forward as the <img>
tag is converted to literal html and is displayed in the converted log
file rather than being interpreted and inserting the image. I probably
ended up using some external tools (sed or such like) to achieve what I
was after.
log using test, smcl replace
sysuse auto, clear
twoway scatter mpg weight
graph export test.png, as(png) replace
di "<img src='test.png' alt='here it is'>"
log c
log2html test, title("In-line graphs") replace
erase test.smcl
I'll see if I can find my old do-files at some point if I've time and
work out what I did if anyone would find it useful.
