I did that, and indeed in response to issue #104.<br>
<br>
Please Alistair, any comments on what Fay mentions? It does make
sense to me. And I don't like tool tips anyway.<br>
<br>
I must say, a lot of people were complaining that they didn't work.
That's another reason I made the change. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve noticed that a change has been made to
lots of page types so that alt attributes on images are now
title attributes. This seems to be in response to a bug on
GitHub (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/issues/104">https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/issues/104</a>)
where tooltips were said to not work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not sure that changing all alt to title
really solves the problem and really it’s a wording problem on
the editor rather than a problem to be fixed in the LOs. I
thought that the main use of tooltip fields in the editor was
to add a description of the image to screen readers.
Previously these descriptions added as alt attributes did mean
that a tooltip appeared when the image was hovered over but
this no longer seems to happen in most browsers. Using the
title attribute instead does force a tooltip to appear but I
don’t think it’s ideal for screen readers (<a

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What does everyone think about this? Should
the wording in the editor be changed from ‘Tooltip’ to
‘Description’ or ‘Alt text’ or do you think that it’s more
important for it to stay as tooltip and keep the hover
functionality even if this might be more fiddly for users of
screen readers?<o:p></o:p></p>
