Hi there, From what I can tell, you can get alt text comes from <phrase>, when <phrase> is part of a <textobject> that is then part of a <mediaobject>.
Here's a sample: <figure> <title>The Pythagorean Theorum Illustrated</title> <mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="art/pythag.gif" format="gif"/> </imageobject><textobject><phrase>The Pythagorean theorum illustrated with rectangles.</phrase></textobject></mediaobject> </figure> Hope this helps. --Trish -----Original Message----- From: Scott Hudson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 8:47 AM To: Lars Bj�rndal Cc: docbook-apps Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Can't create alt-tag from textobject Lars, I've been able to get alt text using <figure>, but I don't know if that's exactly what you are looking for... <figure> <title>Logo</title> <mediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="Pictures/fig2_platform_arch.png" format="PNG" scale="75" width=" " /> </imageobject> </mediaobject> </figure> Perhaps something similar could be done with: <imageobject> <objectinfo><title>Logo</title></objectinfo> <imagedata fileref="./logo.png" align="center" /> </imageobject> Don't know if this is a customization or should be an RFE, but the 2nd sample doesn't generate alt text for me either.
