From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   inline
  
      (Or "unfold") To replace a {function} call with
      an instance of the function's body.   {Actual argument}
      expressions are substituted for {formal parameters} as in
      {beta reduction}.   Inlining is usually done as a
      {compile-time} transformation.
  
      If done recklessly (e.g. attempting to inline a {recursive}
      function) the {compiler} will fail to terminate.   If done
      over-enthusiastically the code size may increase
      exponentially, e.g. if function f calls g twice, and g calls h
      twice and h is inlined in g which is inlined in f (in either
      order) then there will be four copies of h's body in f.
  
      See also {linear argument}, {unfold/fold}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   inline image
  
      An image that appears within the body of a
      {web page}.   Most graphical {web browsers} can display both
      {GIF} and {JPG} images inline.   The {web browser} may give the
      user an option to turn off inline images, to speed up the
      display of web pages.
  
      Other {image formats} may have to be displayed in a separate
      {window} and/or by another {application program}.
  
      An inline image in a web page is achieved with the
      {HTML} {tag}, which can take many attributes.   The SRC
      attribute gives the {URL} from which to fetch the image and
      the ALT attribute gives text to display in place of the image
      for users with images disabled or who are using text-only
      browsers or text-to-speech convertors (e.g. blind users).
