And to alt-text an embedded image in markdown:
I didn't know you could do that! I'll try it, let me know if it works.
FYI alt text only applies when the image fails to load. You can get hover text by adding quoted text after the url.
Preview
Alt text is read by screen readers even if the image loads.
Ok, I can't imagine blind people able to use a mouse very well. So I also imagine they have a brail keyboard. But does that mean they are set up with speakers and a keyboard and they learn how to navigate a computer really slowly, and that modern webpages are very.... Noisy?
