Yes, it's a world of patient and difficult minutiae. But there is a subset that is reasonably tractable, particularly for digital publication. > I've never seen anyone try to do this in HTML, let alone for a11y > purposes. This is not so much "for a11y purpose" as much as a11y is an important component of doing it right. We basically have the ability to have different content at the HTML/DOM and styled levels. I've figured out how to get the styled level right (for approximative values of right); I'm interested in advice or best practices for the HTML/DOM level. -- • Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon • http://science.ai/ — intelligent science publishing •
