            Bug ID: 142356
           Summary: [accessibility] Save as HTML includes caption inside
                    image
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: stephane.guillou at member.fsf.org

Description:
In this document, a caption of a picture is exported together with the picture,
and is therefore not readable by a screen reader for sight-impaired users.
This is a very concerning accessibility shortcoming.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached ODT (same document as in bug 109334
2. File > Save as > HTML

Actual Results:
The resulting HTML file contains a picture with the caption integrated into it.
No screen reader can pick this up, an OCR tool should be used instead.

Expected Results:
The caption is exported as a proper caption, using for example the <figcaption>
tag, as described here: https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_figcaption.asp


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Interestingly, this does not happen with a freshly created document. Also, an
XHTML export has the caption as text.
