Hi Lydia, Thanks for the clarification. > On 2 Sep 2015, at 04:07, Lydia harkey <lharkey@suddenlink.net> wrote: > > I reviewed the Alt Text items for the Developer. ‘Ensure that alternative text for images is added to all informative and functional images’ > As an option to help the developer I would suggest adding at the end of the sentence to refer to the image text provided by the writer as most developers are not creative writers. Most developers that I work with often overlook the importance of alt text simply because they are not aware of the importance or they prefer not to guess what the writer is trying to say about the image. I appreciate your thoughts here but I worry that this might be too much hand-holding on our part. In reality, for many of the tips there is a need to work with other disciplines, I don’t know whether highlighting all of those instances would help or simply add to the confusion? Thanks Kevin
