I though I'd share with the group a new user interface we developed that has the potential of improving the way people compose alternate text:

Hi Vlad,

interesting, but of limited use since many images are NOT inserted as
part of a sentence or as part of a paragraph.

regards

P: I understand the concept behind this and can certainly see a few useful
scenarios. I also wonder, though, if this is overthinking the creation of
alt text.

I don't know why this approach to images is not used as often as it should
be, Vlad ... it is very easy to grasp, helps everyone, and with your clear
walkthrough shows just how easy it is. I thought I was the only one who
liked doing alt text this way.

Great effort. Bookmarked by me.

Regards,

Steven

Vlad, this is outstanding! I can't think of a single point you've left unaddressed.

This is the way alternative text should be created. In fact, it's the way content should be created.

Great job!
