  The alt-tag doesn't only work for formatting better in text browsers,
but it can only be used for a kind-of tooltip (at least in the most recent
versions of graphical browsers, I think).

  It should be noted that it's not just enough to add alt-tags, it has to
be done well (specially when making a page for text browsers).
  For example if you make this:


This <img src="image.jpg" alt="Povray image"> is a Povray image.


you'll get this when watching it with a text browser:


This Povray image is a Povray image.


  The correct way of doing it would be something like this:


This <a href="image.jpg"><img src="image.jpg" alt="[IMAGE]" border=0></a>
is a Povray image.


  Also the correct alt-tag for non-essential decorations (which do not
contribute to the text) is: alt=""

-- 
main(i,_){for(_?--i,main(i+2,"FhhQHFIJD|FQTITFN]zRFHhhTBFHhhTBFysdB"[i]
):_;i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_=0,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
