Description
All blocks that use images need to have an way of adding alt tab. For example, the Icon List block.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions
Starting 28 June 2025, EU Regulation 2019/882 (the European Accessibility Act, EAA) takes effect for new products, with a transitional period for existing ones. Alt attributes are a standard requirement in accessibility checks run by all major page-testing tools (PSI, GTmetrix, WebPageTest, and so on).
Ideally, the alt value should either:
- be pulled automatically from the image's alt text in the media library, or
- allow an option to generate an empty alt attribute if the image is purely decorative and not part of the content.
