Structure readers can navigate

A portable diagram

The diagram source is ordinary text in the document, so it remains portable even when a renderer changes.

Mathematics without screenshots

Inline notation such as E=mc2E = mc^2 remains selectable text. A display equation can communicate the stable one-source-to-one-topic relationship:

bridge(s)=tandbridge(s)t2\operatorname{bridge}(s) = t \quad\text{and}\quad \operatorname{bridge}(s) \neq t_2

Media with an explicit origin

The image is a first-party demo asset. It does not depend on an opaque external image host, and its alternative text remains part of the content.
