Problem with Thymeleaf in Spring Boot

[Alejandro Barrero]

I create a web page to display an image with he following line:

img th:src="@{images/paperless.gif}"

I apologize but "<,> didn't  display as code.
The html is in the templates folder of my application and the image file "paperless.gif" is in folder "templates/images"; I am assuming that I am using a relative path.
I haven't been able to find a solution after googling for a long time.
