Alternate Text for image in Live Script

I need to add Alternate Text to my images as I add them to my Live Script using MATLAB 2020a installed on my computer. When I click the insert button, there is no option for adding alt text as there is in the web based editor. What is the recommended way to add alt text to the images in Live Scripts?

Hi Heather,

MATLAB by default considers alternate text as the name of the image inserted, you can find the alternate text when you export the .mlx file to HTML format.

Currently there is no option for adding Alternate text, This is already a known issue and concerned people are aware of it and they may be working on it.

Thank you for adding this functionality in 2020b. Is there a way to allow the alt text to also be associated with the images in files exported as a word or pdf file?

You can now add Alt-text to images in the Live Editor using the "Edit Image.." right-click menu on the inserted image. You will get a dialog where you can enter the alt-text:
