[Required]
If an author chooses to use PRE and Ascii Art instead of more
expensive (size) image file in graphic format, it is required to
- provide an indication of the beginning and the end the inline graphic
[Interim] for screen reader users, make sure you announce the
beginning and the end of graphic portion using a text "marker"
understandable by the user reading the page, so that she or he
can skip this portion.
[New] for markup aware browser, use <PRE class=graphics> (and </PRE>
will end the graphic normally)
- attach both a short description (figure caption) and, if the
graphic presents important information, a long description using a
class d-link Anchor.
One way to do the interim job while keeping the original look is to
use CSS display=none on some marked SPAN:
in STYLE section at the beginning of the HTML:
.ascii-art-marker { display:none }
then
<SPAN class=ascii-art-marker>Ascii-art (ending with Figure caption)</SPAN>
<PRE class=graphic>
