Given the lack of response I assume there is no easy answer to this,
however, with help elsewhere it seems that this can be done with
tex4ht which is part of the Mactex distribution.
This is done with one of the following commands
1 \Picture[replacement-for-textual-browser]{file-name attributes}
2 \Picture+[replacement-for-text-browsers]{file-name attributes}
content\EndPicture
3 \Picture*[replacement-for-text-browsers]{file-name attributes}
content\EndPicture
This leads me to additional questions.
1. what program does lyx use for the HTML conversion (on the Mac), I
presume it tells me on the wiki somewhere but I can't find it.
2. I have tried several ways of using command 1 above to try and add
the alt text into the graphics latex options, but get compile errors.
the commands are obviously meant for tex4ht, but I thought I would
give it a try..
3. Assuming tex4ht isn't one of the two HTML export options in Lyx,
can I add it as an export option menu item.
Thanks,
Graham

Before exporting from Lyx to HTML, is there a way of providing
alternate text for the figures.
I see in the graphics dialog box there is space for for some Latex
code and I am hoping this might provide the mechanism.
Thanks,
