Request Title |
Add a Dek tag to Table 338 | ||||
| Request Submitted By | PDF/UA | ||||
| Executive Summary | Improved document semantics, especially when converting legacy documents from newspaper or magazine sources | ||||
| Rationale | There is presently no way to associate a dek with its parent heading (H1 through H6 or H) and article. In sequential PDF reading (as by a screen reader or Braille display), dek content can be confused with main-article content | ||||
| Use Case(s) |
A dek is a short summary of an article following a heading and preceding the article text. It is usually longer than a heading (sometimes several paragraphs in length), yet does not function as a heading or as main-article text. Preferred usage: As a child of other structural elements (e.g., inside Art or Sect), following any heading tag and preceding full text of an article or other content. NB: The correct spelling is dek, not deck; the words have different spellings so that the word “dek” never appears in published copy. (Editors search for “dek” and ensure it appears solely in comments or other internal instructions.) |
