The value provided in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"&gt;altText&lt;/code&gt;&lt;span&gt; is used for the link label.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;So what you are expecting is not supported in Mobile devices. Rather users can only download the document.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
