I still think that adding text (or content) over images should be a feature of #HTML. That’d make so many use-cases suddenly possible, even for static hosting and #JavaScript -less server-side rendering!

@aartaka
I'm no longer an HTML expert, but are you *sure* that's not possible?

@dougmerritt @aartaka usually put both the image and text into a container, set position relative on the container and whatever sizing is needed to fit the image, then position absolute the text and have top or bottom set to 0px (or a margin w/e) and call ot a day. 🤷 Also usually I just put it the title attribute since I set those for screen readers and make mouse users hover over it to see the text if I need to be minimal :P
