*The easiest* way it to say, "Hey, Seth, can you change some web pages
for me?" That's not very fast -- it may take several weeks, depending
on how many S+++++'s you have in your EUGLUG code.
*The second easiest* way is something like this.
Dup alt tag to title tag:
find /var/www/htdoc -type f | xargs perl -p -i.orig -e \
's/alt\=\"([^\"]*)\"/alt="$1" title="$1"/gi'
Replace alt tag w/ title tag:
find /var/www/htdoc -type f | xargs perl -p -i.orig -e \
's/alt\=\"([^\"]*)\"/title="$1"/gi'
That isn't smart enough to check that that alt tag is inside an
<img> directive or inside any directive, for that matter.
But this is...
s/\<img [^\>]*alt=\"([^\"]*)\"/title="$1"/gis
Note the "s" character at the end. It makes the whole thing
work even if the tag spans multiple lines.
