two empty stars. While the alternative text could have been
"&#x2605;&#x2605;&#x2605;&#x2606;&#x2606;", the author has instead
decided to more helpfully give the rating in the form "3/5". That is the
alternative text of the first image, and the rest have blank alternative
text.</p>

<p>If any of the components of the sliced picture are the sole contents of
links, then instead one image per link must have alternative text
representing the purpose of the link.

<p>Generally, authors should avoid slicing images in this way, as it can
lead to unexpected renderings (e.g. if the line wraps in an unexpected
way, the image would get broken up). In the case of links, <a
href="#image2" title="image map">image maps</a> should be used instead.
