-----Original Message----- From: public-wcag-teamb-request@w3.org [mailto:public-wcag-teamb-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Becky_Gibson@notesdev.ibm.com Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 9:59 PM To: public-wcag-teamb@w3.org Subject: [TECH] proposed general technique for internal linking Using internal links to definitions Include the definition within the delivery unit and provide a link to it. Links are a powerful option for providing access to the definition of a word or phrase. The definition is provided within the same delivery unit and a link is established between the word and its definition. Providing the definition within the same delivery unit makes the navigation to it simple and fast. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 uses this technique to provide definitions. A glossary of terms is provided at the end of the WCAG 2.0 Guidelines. Many terms within the Guidelines are linked directly to the appropriate definition within that glossary. Example The word ?modulo? is used in the web content. A definition for modulo is included within the delivery unit. Each occurrence of the word modulo is linked to its definition. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#meaning-idioms Roberto Scano: Did u suggest an example like this (I take your phrase for example)? <p>The word <a href="#def_modulo" title="Link to definition">modulo</a> is used in the web content.</p> <p>A definition for <a href="#def_modulo" title="Link to definition">modulo</a> is included within the delivery unit. Each occurrence of the word <a href="#def_modulo" title="Link to definition">modulo</a> is linked to its definition.</p> <dfn id="def_modulo"> <p>Modulo: ........</p> </dfn>
