accessibility - Getting DocBook alt. text to work with apache fop -
i'm in process of writing larger docbook document, , while looks decent enough, i've been asked improve accessibility of it. after reading documentation figured, "that looks simple enough, i'll add <alt>
element in there , that'll fix everything!" ...needless wasn't case.
the way i've been including keys images 'till now;
<inlinemediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata format="png" fileref="figs/key-down.png"/> </imageobject> <alt>down</alt> </inlinemediaobject>
i opted graphic element on using <keycap>
in case makes keys in document closer real thing. cover bases i'm testing following, didn't work either:
<keycap><alt>down</alt>▼</keycap>
the screen reading software still can't read alt-text.
do need other type of configuration work in screen reading software, aside running fop
-a
flag?
i agree making document accessible more adding alt text. however, it's start, answer question, think instead of need use textobject element, example:
<inlinemediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata format="png" fileref="figs/key-down.png"/> </imageobject> <textobject> <para>icon: key down</para> </textobject> </inlinemediaobject>
of course, 2 years later, maybe other viewers.
