Can you change image alt text when converting from docx? #103

Closed mattl1598 closed 2 years ago

I've written my own image converter function based on the example one in order to store the image in a database and display it with the right "src" but I can't find the right key for changing the alt text from the original file path that word stores.

I've tried "alt", "alt_text" and "title" to no avail.

(question)

At the moment, this isn't supported: the alt text will always be taken from the original document if it's available.

An update to this issue, the newest version of word automatically generates alt text with AI and uses line breaks which causes rendering issues with the resulting markdown. I'm working on a fix for my original issue and this new one currently.

As of 1.5.0, you can override the alt text by adding an "alt" entry to the returned dict.
