HTML and lynx

I was wondering if there is a way of creating ascii pictures in files that
could be accessed through and html file the way gifs are accessed.  For
example, if you have <img src = bubba.gif> Could you do something like,
<img src = bubba.gif alt = beckisue>?  I want to make my web page more lynx
friendly.  I figured an ascii artist might know.

This has been discussed before and I don't believe it is possible:
the text in ALT strings apeears to recognise neither a surrounding PRE
or TT directive, nor an embedded \r\n for newline.

I reckon you ere right.  There are no way to git one of them bobcats to
display nothin' but a bad temper, and that is on account of they is all
lost their tails. So, I surrender this here text display stuff to you who
know all about it.
