Doing it in markdown isn’t a great solution, that’s more for hover text then anything. Having a bunch of text in markdown Alt-text clogs the hell out of the post body and makes it harder to copy the raw markdown if you’re not trying to grab a fuck load of additional text.
Here’s an example why markdown isn’t great for this purpose. Also, not every client renders the markdown the same, Lemmy has no standardized markdown syntax/implementation. For example, my client won’t render your example the way you think it will, and my client hates new lines in markdown alt-text.
Not sure what you mean. Just type the alt in markdown
