733 B

This rule is triggered when an image is missing alternate text (alt text) information.

Alternate text is commonly specified inline as:

![Alternate text](image.jpg)

Or with reference syntax as:

![Alternate text][ref]

...

[ref]: image.jpg "Optional title"

Guidance for writing alternate text is available from the W3C, Wikipedia, and other locations.

Rationale: Alternate text is important for accessibility and describes the content of an image for people who may not be able to see it.
