Info
titlePositioning alt text

Confluence deletes the alt text if you spell or punctuate it incorrectly. For best results, you should also insert it as shown in the precending example, right after ac:image.

An image inserted this way has alt text, which is evident to the user of a screen reader for the following image. Display the image properties in the browser to view the alt text.
