Subject: Info broken image
Date: Fri, 06 Sep 2013 00:35:17 +0300

When Info can't find an image file it replaces the image
with the placeholder "[broken image]" even when there is
ASCII variant of the image.  It would be more user-friendly
to display ASCII variant if it is provided in the Info file.
Additionally this patch also displays the ALT attribute
in the tooltip like web browsers do.
