Would it be possible to use image title instead of alt text for the caption?
It appears you can set the title of an image like so![A screenshot of something](./_screenshot.png "this is a title")
. I'm wondering if there could be an option to allow using the title instead of alt text for the image caption. Could be a nice convenience over putting in HTML for a caption.
Or is there already a good way to set a separate caption that I'm missing?
I’d +1 this feature. It’d be great to be able to use alt text for its intended accessibility virtue and still easily set a separate caption.
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerI like this too – I propose modifying the image caption feature such that the title
is chosen as first priority, then the alt
text as fallback. This feels more correct than ignoring the title
and just using the alt text
I've deployed a change to make this happen – the title
text is chosen as first priority over the alt
text when sourcing the image caption
