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

but this does not allow me to get an HTML code 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 :-) -- Peter Toft, Ph.D. [pto@sslug.dk] http://www.sslug.dk/~pto "You don't win a battle by asking, `Will we win?'

It is specifically done to support several formats for the same "object". So the user can view/hear/read a picture, a sound, and a text, depending on how the people can/want to see it. BTW, it also solves the old problem "I want a PNG in HTML, and an EPS in PostScript" -- Éric Bischoff - mailto:ebisch@cybercable.tm.fr __________________________________________________ \^o~_. .~. ______ /( __ ) /V\ Toys story \__ \/ ( V // \\ \__| (__=v /( )\ |\___/ ) ^^-^^ \_____( ) Tux Konqui \__=v __________________________________________________ From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Peter Toft To: docbook-tools-discuss@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: Re: alt= in HTML Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2000 06:36:00 -0000 Message-id: References: X-SW-Source: 2000/msg00349.html On Thu, 7 Sep 2000, Peter Toft wrote: Madhu none told me to add the tag - seems as a way to go, if I cannot get the change directly.
