Does this imply that aria-describedby should be used for the caption? This, at least, is how I construe the above statement. How then can the author provide a long description of the entire figure, distinct from the descriptions of its child elements? For example, a figure may contain, e.g., four images, and it could be necessary to give an overview/description of the entire figure which is separate from the description of each image. However, this overview is not necessarily what the author/publisher wants to deliver to all users in the text of a caption. ________________________________ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may contain privileged or confidential information.
