For images used in headers, one would expect <h1><img src=src alt="Header text"></h1>. Why should we have lower expectations about coding practise when it comes to putting LaTeX source code into @alt? HTML 4 takes into account that <blockquote> is misused for indenting text and says that User Agents therefore "should not insert quotation marks in the default style". Likewise, perhaps the cowpath to put LaTeX code into @alt needs to be taken into account. But in the first place we must realise that putting source code into @alt and assuming people/User Agents figure it out by themselves, is wrong. -- leif halvard silliReceived on Friday, 8 August 2008 14:54:25 UTC
