I’m in academia and there’s a huge push about accessibility since Harvard and MIT got ADA suits because MOOCs weren’t screen-reader compliant. I’m trying to be a good citizen and include alt tags, but it seems that they are not showing up. They’re in the HTML, though, so I guess screen readers will see them. It makes it hard for me to check, though. I guess this is a simple CSS fix?

I can’t see alt or title tags on this image:

![this is an alt tag](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/4/f/4faf3120c821aa8e239fe74c8568ca4afaca6433.png "This is the picture title")

On a related note, it would be nice if the `<img ...>` tags that get created on an upload included something like `alt="image description"` so that people who don’t know to add that get a little bit of help.
