address@hidden: Where to ask for Info features?]

[Karl Berry]

Would someone like to work on these features for the Emacs Info reader?
I don't know if the alt text is displayed as a popup help now, or if
it's possible to set the cut&paste text for an image, but anyway ...

thanks,
karl

Info is supposed to gain more image support.  I'd have the following
wish list:

If I have an image in an info buffer, I would want to be able to
supply

a) a popup help text displayed when over the image
b) the text to be used for cut&paste of the image

This would typically be the "ALT" text in HTML browsers, and at least
b) would be the "hidden" text masked by the image in Emacs windows.
a) would probably default to b).

Application: well, suppose we convert amsldoc.tex into Texinfo format.
It would be nice to have a way of converting the whole kaboodle such
that we can cut&paste images directly from the Texinfo buffer as
source text.
