 Lynx ALT demo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It would perhaps be appropriate to mention first that Lynx works in a terminal emulation window (or indeed on a real terminal - there are still a few around), and that the detailed appearance of the display depends on the characteristics of the terminal window that is in use.
As you see, the Lynx reader will, with these settings, be unaware that the text is being displayed as the result of an ALT text, rather than as ordinary text, but in either case it is clear from the display whether this text is part of a link or not.
The author's job - and this applies to all browsers and not only to Lynx - is to work out what information they actually want to communicate to those readers who are using text-only mode, and then to put that information into their ALT texts.
