In that case, too, the text can be quoted, then just like magic it's accessible. A quote that links to the source is a strong combination.
Everyone benefits: the text is searchable, reflowable, adaptable to multi-modal input & output, easy to quote via copy & paste, etc. It's simply more useful & screenshots don't inherently give any of that.
Yes. I talked about screenshots because the first message said:
For "text source only" I'm with you quotes are enough.
And if images are post anywhere, always provide an alt text, plz everyone !
If the point is to reproduce an image, not text, then yes, definitely provide those images. Agreed: nothing wrong in that.
