@GasheadAu Hi Tim, I'm new to this (and most of my content is not image based). Are there any guidelines or primers for alt text that you could share a link to? Things like the level of detail or any shorthand that is used would be helpful.
@GasheadAu Thank you for that, and let me know when your guide is ready so that I can give it a boost
@cyrilpedia Will do.
@cyrilpedia Hey Thiago, there are a few. I'm writing one at the moment based on my work at the University of Leeds.
Quick tips:
• Not need to repeat text already in surrounding copy.
• Good to describe why you're using that particular image.
• Good to describe what is in the image. E.G. A white car is in the foreground centre. There are two people to the left middle ground. A wide road winds into the background.
• Alt text is for sight-impaired and movement impaired not just blind people.
