try:

           replace Body from Document / backgroundimage = "%path%blah_blah.jpg"

or, per the docs:


BACKGROUNDIMAGE='string'
specifies an image to use as the background. Viewers that can tile the
image as the background for the HTML table that the procedure creates will
do so. string is the name of a GIF or JPEG file. You can use a simple file
name, a complete path, or a URL. However, the most versatile approach is to
use a simple filename and to place all image files in the local directory.
Applies to:tables or cells
ODS Destinations:HTML
