This isn't a bug. Most people *want* the alt tags indexed. If you don't,
you could try putting in a space, e.g. alt=" " or if you are willing to
change the code, open up htdig/HTML.cc and look for:
if (conf["alt"])
{
char *alttxt = transSGML(conf["alt"]);
...
if (doindex && !in_title && head.length() < max_head_length)
head << alttxt << " ";
Put "//" in front of each of the last two lines and then rebuild htdig. It
will no longer add ALT attributes to the excerpts.
