Then repo versions should not be allowed as they are distributing a version that has been modified unknowingly to the users and the modification breaks and essential feature.

Feel free to open a bug report and attach one of these docx files whose alt text is not carried over. It should be a trivial fix.

I tested this with Calibre, Pandoc and DiapDealer's Mammoth based DOCX plugin. Only pandoc preserved both title and alt attributes. (DiapDealer's plugin preserved only the alt attribute.) Calibre also considered my single page test document as a book that only contained a cover page and stripped the image from the page.

Your commit fixed the alt attribute issue, but the title information is still missing:

Code:

<wp:docPr id="1" name="Picture 1" descr="This is the image description." title="This is the image title."/>

Ideally, it should be mapped to the img title attribute.

Works for me with

Code:

ebook-convert Image.docx oeb --docx-no-cover && cat oeb/index.html

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Unknown</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
  <link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<link href="page_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
  <body class="calibre">
       <p lang="de" class="block_">Image attribute test</p>
       <p class="block_"><img src="images/Calibre_logo_2.png" title="This is the image title." alt="This is the image description." class="calibre1"/></p>

</body></html>
