The current HTML5 spec contiains this expalnation and example of a conforming alt text [1]: "Sometimes there simply is no text that can do justice to an image. For example, there is little that can be said to usefully describe a Rorschach inkblot test. <figure> <img src="/commons/a/a7/Rorschach1.jpg" alt="{inkblot test}"> <legend>A black outline of the first of the ten cards in the Rorschach inkblot test.</legend> </figure>" In light of the example in the spec, is the following conforming to HTML5 or not? <figure> <img src="/commons/a/a7/Rorschach1.jpg" alt="a black vertically symmetrical shape, which contains 4 small white areas and 9 smaller black blotches seperated from the main body of the shape."> <legend>A black outline of the first of the ten cards in the Rorschach inkblot test.</legend> </figure> [1] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#a-key -- StevefReceived on Saturday, 16 August 2008 13:49:42 GMT
