Maybe @bollwyvl has thoughts as well? I feel like semantic descriptions for accessibility purposes is kinda like semantic tags more generally, which i know Nick is interested in 🙂 |

Hey, I'm super later but I have seen this issue and need to get you some good suggestions. Thanks for your patience! Also big thanks to @tonyfast for moving this to an issue and getting links to all those references. This issue made me realize Slack does have alt text support (even if it's more hidden than I prefer); I've pretty much been relying on describing it in the message. Thanks for teaching me! My very short answer from skimming the image is
It also looks like @cmparlettpelleriti commented something about being unsure how to describe because notebooks may not only be the input code, but also have output. So far, my best recommendation there would be to just describe input versus output. Something like In the future I'd like to have a guide/frequently asked questions about this kind of thing, so that could also be linked here. I think this could be what closes this issue. Let me know if you have any other questions! |

I feel this issue can be better tackled as a discussion so moving there 💬 |

@cmparlettpelleriti
@choldgraf
context probably matters a lot
i don't know the specifics of alt text well, that is @isabela-pf domain. my best guess is the context the screenshot is being applied to probably matters a lot. is it about the dataframe or the notebook? the is probably going to require two different alt text approaches to describe.
it would be nice to have a recommendation for default alt text, and maybe the myst format could be a representation in a similar way that @cmparlettpelleriti is putting code in the alt-text.
prior examples
while we don't have explicit best practices, @isabela-pf has a draft of alt text suggestions in jupyter land, and there are some recommendations for content showing screenshots. https://github.com/Quansight-Labs/jupyter-accessibility-workshops/blob/main/docs/alt-text-guide.md#content.
we also have some aggregated examples for our alt-text sprints. some examples are listed below for retrolab and jupyterlab where we have written alt text for notebooks. more eyeballs and input on some of these applications would be helpful in us normalizing our alt text practices.
