Sorry for stepping in here, but what do you mean by this?

In order to explain how a photo relates to the rest of the content, or vice versa, normal text should be used, in running text or as an image caption. After all, that text would be meant for people who see the image, not to those that don't. It's just unfortunate that there is no way in HTML to make such texts shown only when the image is shown.

Do you mean something like hover text or a watermark? Curious on what you were thinking about.
