HTML "alt" tag

Is it possible to include in HTML ALT tag something to force it to break line?

I don't think so.

The purpose of the ALT tag is to provide a description of the image for text-based browsers.

It's a shot in the dark, but you might try a "\n" inside your alt tag and see if that does it. I highly doubt it though.

Not only for text-based browsers, but also for those people who disable graphics in their GUI-based browsers, and also for people with visual impairments.

Check out the following website:

»www.section508.gov/
»www.w3.org/WAI/

You could consider using the longdesc attribute, which would allow you to provide a formatted description of the images in your web pages.

The correct way to create tooltips over anything is TITLE=
ALT= is for text browsers for images only.

The man knows of what he speaks! Why is it that people neglect the TITLE attribute?
