    Code in an image description now stays in its alt text

    What was broken
    When an image description in Markdown contained a bit of code, that word vanished from the alt text in the finished HTML.
    What I changed
    Code text now goes into the alt text along with the words around it, as in the original JavaScript parser.
    Why it matters
    People using screen readers get the full description of the image.
