Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Docbook xsl stylesheets and accessibilityrequirements?
I think there is quite a bit of information around about accessibility and the xsl stylesheets. I don't know that it is collected and documented in one place. Since accessibility is a major interest of mine, I'd be happy to work with folks in pulling something together, for the FAQ perhaps? I'd need a bit of coaching about the best way to get started and also about any wheels that don't need to be re-invented. To start the ball rolling, some topics might be: * how do you get valid html output for which versions of html? * customizing the head and foot sections for clean, linear screen reader layout * best combinations of parameter values to maximize clean output * generating ALT text and longdesc (I've seen traffic about this for sure) * titles and graphics * tab sequences and navigation, how to * customizing menu links for keyboard access It's not so clear to me how you get accessible PDF output in spite of advertised capabilities in the latest Acrobat s/w. Comments? Suggestions? ...edN Billard, Trish wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm planning on using the 1.59.2 DocBook xsl stylesheets to create HTML, PDF, and HTML help renditions. (Thank you, Norm!!)
