(pre-question: anyone know how to get a plain textbox for posting?
I've tried to attach the actual rst file in case spacing get corrupted
by the non-wysiwyg widget)

I'm trying to automate the production of tables containing large numbers
(hundreds) of figures.   It would help readability if I could abbreviate the 
figure
path in some way, using targets or string replacements like this:

.. _fig1: //home/xwei/public_html/results/docs/new/GCM/cld-anom-cccma.png
.. |fig1| replace:: 
//home/xwei/public_html/results/docs/new/GCM/cld-anom-cccma.png

However, although this works:

+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| model          | CCCma                                                     
                                                     |                  
+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| total cld        | .. figure:: 
//home/xwei/public_html/results/docs/new/GCM/cld-anom-cccma.png |
|                     | :scale: 30                                           
                                                            |
+---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

these two fail, with the message:

/nfs/kite/home/phil/public_html/imagetest/index.rst:: WARNING: image file 
not readable: `fig1`_
/nfs/kite/home/phil/public_html/imagetest/index.rst:: WARNING: image file

                                       |

Is there a syntax/feature I'm missing?   thanks, Phil
