Documents / NewsItems  are *not* DTML objects;  they are content.
The CMF explicitly disables the interpretation of DTML which is
embedded in them.

The rules for paths are the same rules as would apply in a Zope
DTML method:  leading slash specifies a site-relative path (i.e.,
to the root of the Zope, or the virtual host root); paths without
leading slashes are relative to the current object.

If the 'images' folder is in the same folder as the document,
then the link would be (note no leading slash):

 <img src="images/embedded_image" alt="Embedded image">

If the 'images' folder is hanging off of the portal object, then
the link would be:

 <img src="&dtml-portal_url;/images/embedded_image" alt="Embedded image">
