No, and that alt attribute is garbage. The content of the alt attribute is supposed to be some text to display (or read aloud) when whe image cannot be displayed. A safe and often the best option is to just leave it empty, so:
Code:
<div class="figure">
<img src="../Images/image002.jpg" alt=""/>
<p class="figcaption">Menashe people with Rabbi Avichail (right)</p>
</div>
and style div.figure and p.figcaption as you wish with CSS, for example:
Code:
div.figure {
text-align: center;
margin: 1em 0;
}
p.figcaption {
text-indent: 0;
font-size: 80%;
margin-top: 0.5em;
}
