Hi!  
When using the @Html.ImageFor(), how do I get the Alt/Title-text from the image?  
Possible to get the metadata AlternateText that’s set on the image in the MediaArchive?

Thanks 🙂

Litium version: 7.4.2

The text needs to be set on the `ImageModel` passed to `Html.ImageFor(...)`, it has a property for it. You’d need to set it as a part of building the view model.
