Callout

Callout

Request Title 

Add a Callout tag to Table 338
Request Submitted By  PDF/UA
Executive Summary Improved document semantics, especially when converting legacy documents
Rationale There is presently no way to associate a callout (usually a specially formatted and edited quotation) with its parent article. In sequential PDF reading (as by a screen reader or Braille display), it becomes confusing for users with disabilities to associate callouts with main-article content
Use Case(s) Quotation or excerpt from text, typically displayed in large type in a visually prominent location. Common in printed magazines; PDFs exported from such magazines presently have no semantics for this document content. Preferred usage: As a child of other structural elements (e.g., inside Art or Sect).
Details of Requested Change 

Add a new Structure Type in Table 338 as follows:

 Structure Type  Description
 Callout  This tag is applied to text or content that is extracted from other text or content and given significant emphasis (usually via visual or typographic means).
