The "align", "border", "hspace", and "vspace" attributes of the image element were deprecated in HTML 4.01, and are no longer supported in HTML 5.

## Example

Source | Output
--- | ---
<img src="angry.gif" alt="Angry" /> |

## Attributes

- 4: indicates if the attribute is defined in HTML 4.01

alt | text | Defines a short description of the image | 4 | 5
