Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] Accessibility of images with alternative text in LibreOffice Writer

Hey Michael.

The accessible description field is meant to be end-user consumable. So
if the strings in question are end-user consumable (as opposed to a
solution for, say, automated testing), I think that's ok.

That said, if the tips are especially verbose, perhaps exposing them via
help text instead would make sense??
