Description

@MasssiveJuice08

The syntax of SIRvb's Image Adjustments CSS Snippet uses Markdown embedded image alt text to apply CSS classes to images. The basic principle is the same as Obsidian-flavored-Markdown's syntax for resizing images.

By occupying the alt text field, it prevents us from applying actual alt text to images. Alt text has many benefits:

  • alt text is useful for displaying an image description if the image cannot load for any reason
  • it enables sight-impaired persons to read the image description using a screenreader (don't tell me no one is going to make Morrowind accessible to sight-impaired persons. I'd bet money someone in the future makes this possible in OpenMW)
  • it improves website SEO by telling sitecrawlers what an image is.

This could possibly be resolved by making a provision for two alt text fields for images; one that gets read as CSS classes, and another as alt text.
