It is possible via browser scripting.
At compile time you could choose of guile, Perl, Python, Ruby, Lua
or Java Script. In your version the Java Script engine was compiled-in.
You must define own preformat_html hook and rewrite html
of pages. Add or replace the alt param of IMG.
Rewritten html fragment would look like this:
<img src="/images/arrowLeft.gif" alt="<-" />.

See contrib/ for examples.
