Alt text and relative links

What I’m trying to do

Hi! I’m an Obsidian n00b. What I’m trying to do is have alt text for any image I include in a file. This is for accessibility so someone using a screen reader can still know what’s in the image.

So:

I’m trying to figure out the syntax for relative links for images with alt text. If I link to an image on the web, it works like this:

![alt text](web address of image)

Good enough.

But it seems Obsidian won’t let me do the same thing for a relative link to an image in a folder called “Files” for instance.

The instructions for relative links to images say nothing about alt text

You can change the image dimensions, by adding |640x480 to the link destination, where 640 is the width and 480 is the height.

![[Engelbart.jpg|100x145]]

If you only specify the width, the image scales according to its original aspect ratio. For example, ![[Engelbart.jpg|100]].

There must be a simple way to do this?
