I was doing a Linux presentation to night and we ended
up discussing the Linux books I have made.  The person
wanted to transfer my Docbook->HTML generated book for
blind people. They have a speach synthesis, but need
the pictures to have the alt-tag set in the HTML code.

I normally make a Docbook picture by

<FIGURE ID="pto-fig" FLOAT="1">
<TITLE>Peter Toft</TITLE>
<GRAPHIC FILEREF="pto" SCALE="80"></GRAPHIC>
</FIGURE>

but this does not allow me to get an HTML code

<IMG src="pto.png" alt="Peter Toft">

which I need - I would accept, if I have to add the
alt-text again - or something like that, but I need
clues whether it is possible to get the alt-tag
automagically :-)
