+
+This plugin provides the ``rimg`` [[ikiwiki/directive]].
+While ikiwiki supports including images by using the
+[[ikiwiki/directive/img]] directive, those images must
+be present in the wiki. This plugins allows to include remote images by giving
+their URL.
+
+For instance, the following directive displays the Ikiwiki favicon:
+
+ \[[!rimg http://ikiwiki.info/favicon.ico alt="Favicon" caption="IkiWiki favicon" link="http://ikiwiki.info"]]
+
+Note that this is a stripped down version of [[the img plugin|http://ikiwiki.info/plugins/img]].
