About Alt Text
Alt text (alternative text), also known as "alt attributes," “alt descriptions," or technically incorrectly as "alt tags,” are used within an HTML code to describe the appearance and function of an image on a page.
Alt text uses:
-
Adding alternative text to photos is first and foremost a principle of web accessibility. Visually impaired users using screen readers will be read an alt attribute to better understand an on-page image.
-
Alt text will be displayed in place of an image if an image file cannot be loaded.
-
Alt text provide better image context/descriptions to search engine crawlers, helping them to index an image properly.

Questions
- For scikit-learn, what is the maximum line length for writing alt text descriptions for images?
- Is there a way to do a
grep
of the library and see how many images exist in the documentation? - Can you confirm that the images are static? They are produced from code, within the documentation. Are images always the same that are produced?
