-Alt-text is generally **120 word maximum**. For longer descriptions of complex images, you will have to put the longer description in an [[public:nnels:etext:producers-note#in-text_producer_s_note|In-Text Producers Note]] after the complex image (e.g. map or graph.)
+Alt-text is generally **120 word maximum**. For longer descriptions of complex images, you will have to put the longer description in the Complex Image Description section at the back of the book.  See below for more details.
-<note>An image **must** have Alt-text even for a complex description. This can be as simple as "A Map of WWII showing the Allies and German Lines" with the longer description in a ''In-Text Producer's Note'' below the image. See further [[public:nnels:etext:alt_text_samples#long_and_complex_descriptions_for_prod_notes|Long and Complex Images]] for examples..</note>
