- not in the markup of the document.<p>However, a decorative image that isn't discussed by the
- surrounding text but still has some relevance can be included in a page
- using the <code><a href="#the-img-element">img</a></code> element. Such images are decorative, but
- still form part of the content. In these cases, the <code title="attr-img-alt"><a href="#attr-img-alt">alt</a></code> attribute must be present but its
- value must be the empty string.<div class="example">

- <p>Examples where the image is purely decorative despite being
- relevant would include things like a photo of the Black Rock City
- landscape in a blog post about an event at Burning Man, or an
- image of a painting inspired by a poem, on a page reciting that
- poem. The following snippet shows an example of the latter
- case (only the first verse is included in this snippet):</p>

-That clothe the wold and meet the sky;<br>
-And through the field the road run by<br>
-To many-tower'd Camelot;<br>
-And up and down the people go,<br>
-Gazing where the lilies blow<br>
-Round an island there below,<br>
