Hi Shlomi,
This appears to be a bug in the stylesheets. There is some code for alt,
but it is not in the right place to be used. I'll fix it before the next
release.

Hi.
You could try wrapping the mediaobject in an informalfigure element. I
use alt text for images and I'm publishing to XHTML via webhelp.
Here's one of my informalfigure elements:
****************************
<informalfigure>
<mediaobject>
<alt>This illustration is described in the preceding text.</alt>
<imageobject role="html">
<imagedata fileref="media/server-and-administrator.jpg"/>
</imageobject>
<imageobject role="fo">
<imagedata fileref="media/server-and-administrator.jpg"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>This illustration is described in the preceding
text.</phrase>
</textobject>
</mediaobject>
</informalfigure>
****************************
Thanks for this workaround - I am going to try it, but I wonder why it
does not
work without it. My DocBook/XML validates.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish.
And the resulting XHTML:
****************************
<div class="informalfigure">
<div class="mediaobject"
title="This illustration is described in the preceding text.">
<img src="media/server-and-administrator.jpg"
alt="This illustration is described in the preceding text."/>
</div>
</div>
****************************
