Social Media Alt Text notes: When you do alt text for images of text, be sure to note if you have highlighted or otherwise emphasized part of the text through formatting. Also note if that emphasis is in the original or if you added it. These are important cues for context and clarity.

I'm honestly not sure of the best way to word this. My solution is to say something like [begin added highlight] at the beginning of a highlighted section and [end added highlight] at the end of a highlighted section.

Is it ok to go for brevity & accuracy ? & can I assume that the reader will be reading the posts around the image first, so can use context? Eg: I say “me in a mirror” & don’t really go in depth? If the image is a screenshot of a wiki page, is it okay to link it or is that not helpful! :)
