Recursive display specifications are not supported---@var{string}'s
@code{display} properties, if any, are not used.
-@item (image @var{image-props})
+@item (image . @var{image-props})
This kind of display specification is an image descriptor (@pxref{Images}).
When used as a display specification, it means to display the image
instead of the text that has the display specification.
@subsection Image Descriptors
@cindex image descriptor
- An image description is a list of the form @code{(image
-@var{props})}, where @var{props} is a property list containing
-alternating keyword symbols (symbols whose names start with a colon) and
-their values. You can use any Lisp object as a property, but the only
-properties that have any special meaning are certain symbols, all of
-them keywords.

Every image descriptor must contain the property @code{:type
