The images used by TeX always have the source code as alternative text. This is pretty hard to read, especially for those who need the alt text. I'm not sure if an attribute for alt text should be added, or if automatic alt text can be added, but the current way definitely isn't good.
Comment 1 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2011-07-08 15:30:05 UTC
One can already do <math alt="foo">\frac{3}{2}</math>

Among math folks, TeX is pretty well-known, so its probably not horrible alt text. I can't imagine we'd be able to do anything better automatically. Since we can specify alt text as an attribute already, closing worksforme.
