image alt text for HTML export

image alt text for HTML export

[Aidan Gauland]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 591 bytes --]

Is it possible to set the alt attribute of an image for HTML export?
If I insert an inline image into an Org buffer like so...

[[./foo.png]]

...and export it to HTML, I get something like this...

<img src="foo.png" alt="foo.png" />

But I want the alt attribute to be "foo" (or something else), not the
filename.

I know this is an HTML-specific setting, but I still want the image be
exported to other formats, so inserting literal HTML (see below) isn't
really suitable.

#+HTML: <img src="foo.png" alt="foo" />

If there is no way to do this, should I file a feature request?

Yes, like so:

: #+attr_html: alt="Picture of a foo"
: [[./foo.png]]

See the manual section on exporting to HTML.

Cheers,
CM

The following works for me:

: #+attr_html: width="50%" alt="This is a test image"
: [[file:image.png]]

(without the : obviously) and with

: Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01h.501.gc19a0)

That's exactly what I was looking for.  Thank you!  I never would have
thought to look under "Links in HTML export" for how to set HTML
attributes. :P

Thanks,

I added a FAQ about this in org-faq.org.

I think you're looking for this:

  #+ATTR_HTML: alt="My image description"
  [[file:~/image.jpg][My Image]]

HTH,
