Alternative text must be included for every image posted on the wiki.. Keep the alt text short; browsers truncate long alt text. In addition describe the important aspects of the image in the text.

Add alt text in the insert Image dialog

Confluence 5 supports adding alternative text in the insert Image dialog.

Open the page on which you want to see the image.
Select Insert > Image.
Select the image to insert.
Complete the image properties.
- Select the Title property.
- Enter Alt text in the Alt text field. The Title is not required.

Add alt text in the XHTML

To enter alt text in the XHTML, enter the ac:alt attribute in the ac:image element as follows..

<ac:image ac:alt="caDSR logo">

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.
