Request Title |
Add a Sidebar 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 sidebar 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 sidebar content with main-article content | ||||
| Use Case(s) | A sidebar is text discussing a topic semantically related to the text inside the enclosing tag. A sidebar typically cannot be understood without first reading all or part of the text in the enclosing tag. 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). | ||||
