The <style> element is indeed in the wrong place, but that's not why you're not
getting the images.  A few years ago, the Object Collection server was
reconfigured to serve the user manuals as plain text, for security reasons.
You'll get the same result for all HTML user manuals from the Collection.

If you download the entire module, your local copy of the user manual will
render properly in your Web browser.

If you download *only* the HTML file and view it locally, your browser will
style it as HTML.  However, the images will be missing.  You can hotlink the
images by editing the HTML file using a plain text editor, and inserting

  <base href="http://lib.povray.org/collection/rope/chrisb%201.0/">

into the <head> section.  Please note that hotlinking is normally considered
extremely bad manners, but in this case, you're just loading images that would
have been served anyway.
