Oggetto: Re: Completed restructuring Understanding 1.1.1

 

I think the links need to agree with the title they link to.  

 

Since the titles have a first letter capitalized -  the link to that title
should too. 

 

Also - the BOLDing needs to be consistent as L pointed out.  I would just
bold the whole titles like we do for other titles 

 

 

I think we should also consider the following text

 

instead of 

... using one of the following
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2013/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20130314/text-equiv-a
ll#text-equiv-all-situation-b-shorttext> short text alternative techniques
for Situation B AND one of the following
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2013/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20130314/text-equiv-a
ll#text-equiv-all-situation-b-longtext> long text alternative techniques for
Situation B:

 

how about we use

 

....using a technique from the list of
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2013/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20130314/text-equiv-a
ll#text-equiv-all-situation-b-shorttext> Short text alternative techniques
for Situation B AND a long description from the list of
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2013/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20130314/text-equiv-a
ll#text-equiv-all-situation-b-longtext> Long text alternative techniques for
Situation B:

Michael,

I don't understand the strategy for which words to mark in bold in the
technique list labels. Especially the last one, where we highlight "not
required".

While we are sorting the technique lists, should we also sort the Failures
so that they are in numeric order?

The technique list paragraphs aren't indented in the Quick Ref, which is a
little confusing. It almost makes the SItuations look like subcases of the
lists, instead of vice versa. Is there a way to control that formatting?

I tried playing around with different Quickref configurations, and I think
things work ok. Fortunately, it isn't possible to turn off general
techniques, so the only list that can ever be empty is the last one
(Techniques to indicate that text alternatives are not required for
Situation F). That may be a little confusing, but I would only expect it to
be used by experts.

I've committed the restructuring of Understanding SC 1.1.1:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2013/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20130314/text-equiv-al
l

This implements the approved proposal:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/index.php?title=Restructuring_Understanding_1.
1.1
<http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/index.php?title=Restructuring_Understanding_1
.1.1&oldid=2022> &oldid=2022

I'd like review of this to help me check that I did it right and that it
still looks as we hoped it would, now that it's in context of the live
draft.

One note, the lists of techniques for short text alternatives, long text
alternatives, etc. are not in explicit sub-sections with headers. The XML
format didn't allow any further levels of section nesting and it would be a
big change to enable that - I can if it's deemed crucial. For now, the list
of techniques just have a paragraph serving as a header before the list. The
references go to that paragraph, and the list immediately follows.

You may also want to take a look at the updated Quickref that also picks up
this change:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/20130314/

In there, it would be particularly helpful to turn on and off some of the
technology filters (under "Customize this Quick Reference") to make sure
everything stays sane.
