<h5>Note regarding the ARIA 1.3 <code>image</code> role.</h5>
<p>In ARIA 1.3, the working group introduced <code>image</code> as a synonym to the <rref>img</rref> role. This was done to mitigate author confusion and errors due to the role being an outlier compared to all other roles, which are complete words or concatenations of complete words.</p>

<p>Until implementations include sufficient support for <code>role="image"</code>, web authors are advised to use both roles as a fallback <code>role="image img"</code> or to use the <code>img</code> role alone.</p>

<p>A container for a collection of <a>elements</a> that form an image. See synonym <rref>image</rref>.</p>
<p>An <code>img</code> can contain captions and descriptive text, as well as multiple image files that when viewed together give the impression of a single image. An <code>img</code> represents a single graphic within a document, whether or not it is formed by a collection of drawing <a>objects</a>. In order for elements with a <a>role</a> of <code>img</code> to be <a>perceivable</a>, authors MUST provide a label using the <pref>aria-label</pref> or <pref>aria-labelledby</pref> attribute.</p>
