Hello, I’m using the latest version of Ghost and I’m wondering how to add line breaks in the captions of image cards.

Also, is it possible to edit the “alt text” of images, for accessibility purposes?

Captions have an intentionally limited set of formatting which doesn’t include line-breaks, you can use the HTML card and build up your markup as needed if you have more complex formatting needs.

Not at the moment using the image card (UI for this is planned but not currently in progress). You can use the markdown or HTML cards to add images with alt text if required.
