| Title | Long description for complex image: longdesc refers to section below image |
|---|---|
| Description | A document with an image that represents a map of the Mediterranean in 180 AD.
The img element has an alt attribute, a title attribute and a longdesc attribute.
The alt attribute identifies the image but the image is too complex to be described in an attribute.
The longdesc attribute refers to a section inside the same page that identifies the image and conveys the same information.
