+/**
+ * Creates a formatted IMG element.
+ *
+ * This method will set an empty alt attribute if one is not supplied.
+ *
+ * ### Usage:
+ *
+ * Create a regular image:
+ *
+ * `echo $this->Html->image('cake_icon.png', array('alt' => 'CakePHP'));`
+ *
+ * Create an image link:
+ *
+ * `echo $this->Html->image('cake_icon.png', array('alt' => 'CakePHP', 'url' => 'http://cakephp.org'));`
+ *
+ * ### Options:
+ *
+ * - `url` If provided an image link will be generated and the link will point at
+ *   `$options['url']`.
+ * - `fullBase` If true the src attribute will get a full address for the image file.
+ * - `plugin` False value will prevent parsing path as a plugin
+ * - `data-src` For holder.js options. If `$path` is not empty, then unset `$options['data-src']`.
+ *
+ * @param string $path Path to the image file, relative to the app/webroot/img/ directory.
+ * @param array $options Array of HTML attributes. See above for special options.
+ * @return string completed img tag
+ * @link http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/html.html#HtmlHelper::image
