yeah, I caught it also, after I already commited it.  Please try again.

I think I agree with you in priciple, but not with your conclusion.  I
also agree that module authors should use the same syntax for all
modules.  I believe that syntax should be something like <img
src="/pic.jpg"> or optionally <img src="/images/pic.jpg">.  I think your
point about not confusing module authors is valid and this is why I
think the url for images needs to be standard between Bibles,
commentaries, dictionaries, genbooks, etc.

If we change the filter to strip the basename from the url on lex/dict
and genbooks, then for these modules, the module authors will have to
add an extra directory to the url.  As it stands now, the extra
directory is already added for them for these 3 cases.  Does this make
sense?  Still hoping to hear what you think.  As said before, I think we
agree in principle, now just have to work out the details.
