x-mas wish: mandatory alt tag in file insert window

Post by snafu »

blind users need to have an alt-tag for images. i would be very pleased if i could check a checkbox in blog configuration to have a mandatory input field for this alt-tag when a new image is inserted into text. like this:

we are setting up an city magazine wich should be usable by blind persons too. thank you in advance!

I think instead of doing that on insertion time, a comment for an image should be stored upon upload:

We have that filed as: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=542825

Hopefully some volunteer comes along :-)

Best regards,

yes, thats better and will avoid inconsistencies(? :-)

maybe there is a programmer outside there ...!

(not my cup of tea, but btw: im working on an update of my s9y pdf manual for beginners, adding a checklist for good writing style for an newspaper-like medium)
