    FYI alt text only applies when the image fails to load. You can get hover text by adding quoted text after the url.

        Ok, I can’t imagine blind people able to use a mouse very well. So I also imagine they have a brail keyboard. But does that mean they are set up with speakers and a keyboard and they learn how to navigate a computer really slowly, and that modern webpages are very… Noisy?

        Voyager doesn’t seem to use the hover text at all. I think it should though, might make a post about it in their community.

          Markdown features are extremely fragmented. Hover text might be a non-standard feature that not all markdown renderers can handle (or even a standard feature that’s omitted in some renderers).
