Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Pre-CFC - Updating "programmatically determined link context"

Hi Wilco,

> to me this reads as an attempt to write an exhaustive list of ways that context can be provided

I don’t think that is affected by the proposed change in either direction.

If we did extend the change, the phrasing is a bit awkward but I’d suggest something like:

In HTML, information that is programmatically determinable from a link in English includes [ins](but is not limited to)[/ins] text that is in the same paragraph, list item, or table cell as the link or in a table header cell that is associated with the table cell that contains the link.

However, others might push back on that?

Cheers,

Hey Alastair,
Even though this is an example, to me this reads as an attempt to write an exhaustive list of ways that context can be provided in HTML (in English). If there was some kind of "such as", or "etc." in there it would help clarify that there might be other options.

The whole thing is an example, not very clear from the code, but it is presented like this:
