Properties: the "Missing" property

Does anyone see an image when they go to:
http://www.oorexx.org/docs/rexxref/x12261.htm#CLSPROPERTIES

The image should appear just to the left of:
Note: The Properties class also has...

The URL of the image would be:
http://www.oorexx.org/docs/rexxref/ooRexxPropertiesClass.png

I come across missing images quite often in the REXX documentation. If
it's just down to lack of resource, then I have a reasonable amount of
spare time. I'm not much of a graphic artist, but I excel at plagiarism.

In this case, the image is specific to the section, and probably doesn't
appear anywhere else. But I've come across generic images which are
found in several places, also missing in the past.

Just says "Figure 5-21". No image.

Rather than create a bunch of one-off images, it would make more sense
to create a way for them to be rendered as tables in producing the HTML,
since that's what they are. In the PDF, that missing image is the table
showing the inheritance and defined methods of the class:

On a related note, it sure would be nice if that list of defined methods
included links to their descriptions down below. I always find myself
clicking in the lists of inherited methods by mistake instead, and then
banging my head as I realize minutes or hours later that I've been
looking at a method that's overridden.

My downloaded copy of the html for 4.1.0 shows Figure 5-21 right _after_
the first sentence of the section, not on the left. Perhaps in the
conversion to the next release the markup got munged?

You did, of course, report the problem(s) on SF?

That comes later, in my process. Step 1 is to ensure that others have
the same problem, to reduce the possibility that it's something daft
that I've done. If I were a betting man, I'd always bet on the error
being mine.

I use the Opera browser by default, and it makes it easy to block
elements on webpages (typically advertisements). So far, I've not found
a way to find out if the elements missing on a page are the result of a
deliberate action on my part. Not that I've had much reason to look for
such a mechanism.
