Hi Laura, Steve,

Is this something that we could add to the HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives doc? [1]

Or maybe it is already covered there?

Cheers

Josh

this can be provided via the WAI guidance pointed to from http://w3.org/WAI/alt/

Great. That will be a valuable resource. Thank you Steve! 

Could you please transfer this bug over to the appropriate area so it doesn't fall through the cracks?

Thank you, Steve!

Hi Steve,

Reopening this bug until another group agrees to accept it.

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-eo-editors/2014May/0009.html

Anyway, thanks Steve for trying to have it included in those other documents. I appreciate it.

Hi Steve,

fyi...a typical example that we run across here:

http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/labs/printing/windows8_instructions.html#custom

<img src="../images/windows8_custom2.png" alt=
"Screenshot: Additional port information required"
id="portinfo" width="635" height="390" 
longdesc=
"http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/labs/ld/windows8addport.html#content_frame">

Feel free to use it if you want to.

I have closed this bug again, as I have cloned to the HTMl5 spec and will add it to html 5.1

Great. Thank you.

Hi Steve,

What is the cloned HTML 5.1 Bug number to include a longdesc of a screen capture?

Thanks,
Laura

Thanks Shane!

Feel free to use the example in comment #7 if you like or I have others.

This needs to be shifted to github when we can do that…
