RE: updated plain text techniques

Great wording Loretta,

 

John we should capture that for use in the intro to Understanding WCAG 2.0.

The techniques listed in the How To documents are sufficient, in the opinion
of the working group. But we don't claim that they are a complete list, that
is, there may be other techniques to satisfy the success criterion. If an
author wants to use a different technique, however, he has the
responsibility of demonstrating why it satisfies the success criterion.

So, by listing the format suggested by the tests, the working group is
saying that it is an accepted way to indicate structure in text documents.
But there may be other ways.

I am afraid I am lost. Are you suggesting that documents should have the
formats suggested by the tests? (such as two blank lines preceding the
heading) Or just that they have a consistent presentation -what ever that
is?
 
All the best

I've updated the plain text techniques, based on the comments  in the survey
and on the decision from the teleconference.
