Modificación #AltText tercera foto:
Suculenta en una maceta de terracota montada en una pared de bloques de cemento de color beige claro. Dos largos tallos delgados y rojizos se extienden desde la maceta, curvándose hacia arriba y una de ellas apoyándose en una red de protección para gatos. En los extremos de los tallos hay ramilletes de pequeñas flores de fuerte color rosa, unas abiertas y otras aún cerrado el capullo. Es de noche como en todas las fotos excepto la primera con luz de día.

Question regarding alt-text for images and good interpretation by screen-readers: How should one emphasize a certain word or part of a word in plaintext? Would All-Caps work, or would something else be better?

I was wondering about this for transcribing protest-signs where some parts are written in another color or font for emphasis.

Thanks to @TheBreadmonkey I learned of the existence of @altbot !

Some people have to do a lot of work to get text typed out, and find posting images much quicker - it makes total sense not to suggest someone typing with a sip-puff or other switch to have to also fill in the ALT text.

Also sometimes we're in a hurry. Or we're wanting to report on a fast changing situation. Or whatever other myriad reasons! Looks like altbot can help :)

Suggested #AltText A sign is being held up during a protest. The sign has 4 segments of photos and labels. From top to bottom:

Photo of Zelensky NOT A DICTATOR
Photo of Putin DICTATOR
Photo of Vance DICK
Photo of Trump TRAITOR
