Changing the alt text of images

Hi there!

I have some questions about alt text in ReadMe docs.

Background

I was inspecting our ReadMe docs in dev tools and noticed that the alt text for our images are all numbers. Here's an example to clarify what I mean:

<img src="https://files.readme.io/e9b47be-element_compare_to.png" alt="585" title="element_compare_to.png" class="" align="" caption="" height="auto" width="auto" loading="lazy">

When I searched for "alt text images" in the ReadMe docs, I found this post - https://docs.readme.com/discuss/618c4415962803001689666c - which made me think I could update in the raw text version of the page. Unfortunately, when I toggled the raw text setting on, I couldn't figure out how to add the suggested Markdown to provide a more helpful alt tag.

My questions

  1. Is it possible to change the alt text for images in ReadMe?
  2. If yes, how can I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Molly
