# Alt Text
|
|
|
|
``` Alt text is an essential tool for accessibility.
|
|
```
|
|
``` It shouldn't be minimized.
|
|
```
|
|
``` It shouldn't be considered in a conversation about syntax highlighting as the two are not on the same level.
|
|
```
|
|
``` Alt text provides a necessary communication of information to blind users.
|
|
```
|
|
``` Syntax highlighting is a nice-to-have markup improvement for sighted users.
|
|
```
|
|
``` These are not the same.
|
|
```
|
|
``` Authoring information that is only visible to some users is wrong.
|
|
```
|
|
``` We shouldn't need to discuss this.
|
|
```
|
|
``` Let's close this door and move on.
|
|
```
|
|
``` How about we put hash-bangs inside our code samples and use that for highlighting?
|
|
```
