Like I said, it was my plan to roll out the use of alt-text on all images. I did roll it out for the main image on character/comic pages (and I may have included it in the Imagetemplate - if not, I will shortly). Nobody refused to do it.

(incidentally, the Tltemplate is now buggy, causes unnecessary indents if you use it in a sentence). Tupka?

However, because tags don't allow #if parsers within them, as shown here (you have to view the source - the result is a blank page), it would require manually adding alt-text to the code for every item in the gallery, as opposed to, say, conveniently using fields to duplicate the image caption as the alt-text (which would probably be my ideal method). The only alternative I can think of is not using gallery tags at all, and trying to arrange all the images properly with styles, which would be a frustrating undertaking, but maybe not a worthless effort.
