- ## How this still works
- When the alt text contains both single and double quotes, double quotes are used to contain the alt text, and the contained double quote is represented as `"`, which the browser renders as `"` as required:
- ```text
- <img alt="both ' and " inside" src="https://a.dev.codidact.org/assets/logo.png">
- ```
