Problem/Motivation

Presently we don't have any information to help authors make good alt text.

There are great resources like
- https://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/
- https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decision-tree/
- https://axesslab.com/alt-texts/
- https://www.rnib.org.uk/accessibility-guidelines-alt-text-what-you-need-...

And we definitely don't need something this long, but it would be useful to give users something more they can go with.

Steps to reproduce

So it looks like this now:

Proposed resolution

And I'd like it to look like

On selecting the question mark (or perhaps a tab) then a dialog would open up with a paragraph or two of reminders about how to write good alt text.

Remaining tasks

- Determine if there is a better way to expose help
- Create a mockup
- Write the code & tests
- Test the code for accessibility
