There's a trick that supposedly works for some/many browsers,
where you put

<pre>
<img alt="this
should
form
a
column" src=whatever.gif>
</pre>

so that the alt text 'inherits' the surrounding text style.

Be sure to replace "<" and ">" and "&" with "&lt;" and "&gt;" and "&amp;"


I suspect there might be background/foreground colors that work
especially well... anyone experimented with this?
