TITLE: Vim HTML img tag to markdown

====================================================================
I was quite proud of myself for figuring this one out in only about
2 minutes, in Vim. Starting with an HTML img tag:
<img src="img/jetz_table.png" alt="Functional diversity
measures" width="640">
And using this Vim regex:
s/<img src="\(.\{-}\)".*alt="\(.\{-}\)".*//g
To create this Markdown formatted image link:
This was my first proper outing using \{-} for non-greedy matching,
used on the double quotes ". It also uses capture groups \(.{-}\)
-> \1.
