            Bug ID: 27862
           Summary: reorganize for standalong note
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: Windows 3.1
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: a11ytf, a11y_text-alt
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CR alt techniques (editor: Steven Faulkner)
          Assignee: faulkner.steve@gmail.com
          Reporter: liam@w3.org
        QA Contact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org

The alt document is to be published as a WG note, so it needs the full Note
organization including abstract, status, introduction, references etc.

E.g. for abstract,
[[
Abstract

This document contains best practice guidance for authors of HTML [HTML5]
documents on providing text alternatives for images.
]]

E.g. for intro,
[[
Introduction

The alt
attribute is markup defined by the HTML [HTML5] specification that can be
placed on
any HTML _img_ image element [and elsewhere? - Liam] to provide a simple
textual 
fallback for that case that the image is not displayed.  Appropriate use of
the _alt_ attribute is an important part of creating Web pages that are
fully accessible, not only to people who are blind but also to people in
situations where an image cannot be downloaded or displayed.  The contents of
alt attributes may also be available to Web search engines and to in-page
user agent searches.

This document describes how to use the _alt_ attribute in HTML [HTML5].
