§23.9. Providing accessibility text

It's conventional for web pages to provide "alt-text" for significant images displayed, so that partially sighted or blind users can get an idea of what is being shown. Inform allows figures to be given these short descriptions like so:

Figure 2 is the file "butterfly.jpg" ("A red admiral butterfly.").

As we'll see, the same can be done for the cover image:

Release along with cover art ("A cathedral at sunset.").

And also for sounds:

Fugue is the file "Bach.ogg" ("A church organ playing a Bach fugue.").
