How to compile an accessible PDF with alternative text for images?

Questions
1

Hi,
I am currently experimenting Typst for generating content, and I do not succeed in generating PDFs with accessible images. I use the documented alt parameter, with Typst online editor and 0.13.1 compiler but when I check the rendered PDF file, I find no trace of the alternative texts. Is there some known issues about this, or things to know in order to make it work?
Best regards,
Yann

Hi there! Welcome to the Forum.
This issue is about accessibility features, including the alt parameter. It seems like they are aware of it, but haven’t implemented the feature itself yet.
You can use the parameter now so you don’t have to implement it later, but you will have to wait for the full implementation for it to take effect.
You can subscribe to the issue on github to stay up to date. You can customize the subscription so you are only notified once the issue is closed (meaning most likely resolved).
