Question on the alt text for images...

What's the general consensus on alt text for images when it comes to
quotations/parenthesis?

For example I have an image that I'm looking to use something like the
following alt text for:

*Configuration dialog box with the "Next" button highlighted (optionally
you could simply press the enter key rather than clicking on the "Next"
button)*


I'm wondering if the quotes and/or the parens are necessary or even desired.
