Configure alternative text during image insertion
When you insert an image, the default is that its alternate text is automatically added as an <alt> element of the <image> element, per the DITA standard. You can change this default.
The alternate text is the text that a user enters in the Title field of the Show/Edit Image dialog during image creation. You can configure the IXIA CCMS so that when an image is inserted:
- The alternate text is included in the
alt
attribute of the <image> element - The alternate text is not included in the <image> element
- The alternate text is included in the <alt> element of the <image> element (default)
Note: In DITA 1.0, this information was provided in the
alt
attribute of the <image> element, which has been deprecated but is still valid.
Depending on your requirements, you may want to use the alt
attribute of the <image>
element when inserting an image, or you may not want the alternate text at
all.Important: Make configuration changes in a test
environment and confirm they work before copying them to a production
environment.
