Request Title |
Add an Abbr tag to Table 338 | ||||
| Request Submitted By | PDF/UA | ||||
| Executive Summary | Provides semantics for abbreviations, acronyms, initialisms, and short forms, which may be expanded using an E key. In PDF/UA, some Abbr content must be so expanded. | ||||
| Rationale |
Abbreviations, acronyms, initialisms, and short forms can be confusing or unreadable to users of some adaptive technologies like screen readers and to some readers with learning disabilities. The Abbr tag provides semantic markup to disambiguate these terms. PDF/UA requires ambiguous Abbr content to be expanded using an E key; see PDF/UA's Text module for details. Provides compatibilitly with HTML 4.x and XHTML 1.x and 2.x (PDF collapses ABBR and ACRONYM onto ABBR) and HTML5, XHTML5, and XHTML 2.0. |
||||
| Use Case(s) | While the tag is named Abbr, it encompasses any and all variations of abbreviations, acronyms, initialisms, and short forms. | ||||
