ASCII Art

If your images are ASCII art (an image created at the keyboard using standard keyboard characters), provide a link before the image to an anchor after the image so that a user with a screen reader can skip over the ASCII characters. Also, supply a text-based description of the image.

Example

Image of a Lion (Skip ASCII Art)

  ("`-''-/").___..--''"`-._
  `6_ 6 ) `-. ( ).`-.__.`)        Las Positas
  (_Y_.)' ._ ) `._ `. ``-..-'        Community
  _..`--'_..-_/ /--'_.' ,'                   College!
  (il),-'' (li),' ((!.-'

If you have not already clicked on the Skip ASCII Art link, do so now.

  1. First, create an anchor after the ASCII Art: <a name="ascii2"></a>
  2. Then, create a link before the ASCII Art to the anchor: <a href="#ascii2">Skip ASCII Art</a>
  3. Make sure to add a text based description before the "skip" link.
