3.1 When an appropriate markup language exists AND WILL WORK, use markup rather than images to convey information TO ALLOW TEXT SCALABILITY. [Priority 2] For example, use SVG for line art, MathML to mark up mathematical equations, and CSS for text-oriented special effects. You may use text in images when the text does not convey its literal meaning, but has a more graphical function, if the effect cannot be achieved with markup, (as in the case of some for logos and limited accent elements) provided that you provide a textual equivalent to the content contained in the image. -- ------------------------------ Gregg C Vanderheiden Ph.D. Professor - Human Factors Dept of Ind.
