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 …

Er… what? Look at the browser DOM. [изображение] <img src="https://d11a6trkgmumsb.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/f/4faf3120c821aa8e239fe74c8568ca4afaca6433.png" width="206" height="44" alt="this is an alt tag" title="This is the picture title"> In Markdown you do it this way ![Image text goes h…

Well, I see it now. It didn’t make sense that this could be a problem, but I swear that those weren’t showing up when I posted this.

Currently it’s not …

I think the issue is more about which info lightbox uses to caption an image (the caption bar which appears on mouseover/touchscreen-press, and always visible in the gallery viewer). The lightbox caption bar currently appears to use info from a title attribute in a.class=lightbox, where that title …

Err, I see now looking more closely at the RAW , the HTML source, the ‘related note’, and follow-ups, how this ambiguously titled topic ended up conflating a feature change request with a non-issue. oops!

I opened a proper feature request for the idea of improving the lightbox overlay: Display an Image's alt or title attribute in ligthbox overlay
