-  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
