Publishing industry now part of W3C. 14:32:55 ... EPUB3 is the gold standard for accessible ebooks. 14:33:18 q? 14:33:24 ... There is a need in the publishing industry for fixed layout. 14:34:14 ... Print equivalents, academic contexts 14:35:07 ... Need for more resilient version of fixed layout. 14:35:17 ... Problem: You cannot reflow text. 14:35:44 ... Like in PDF. 14:36:49 Dr_Keith has joined #apa 14:37:21 Two perspectives: (1) Screenreader receives reflowable content. (2) Changes on visual layout possible?? 14:37:50 ... Screenreader users were not missing anything. 14:38:07 q+ 14:38:11 q? 14:38:24 ack p 14:38:25 ... Better semantics than PDF. Same issues with visual layout as PDF. 14:38:58 PaulG: PDF allows for programmatic reading order. But this document does not address author-controlled reading order. 14:39:31 q? 14:39:42 ... Not convinced that this is better than PDF. PDF would handle reading order. 14:40:04 ... PDFs have a feature "touchup reading order". 14:40:24 gautierchomel: Reading order is included in this document. 14:40:49 https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-fxl-a11y/#reading-order 14:41:30 present+ 14:42:14 PaulG: I don't see a recommendation about author-controlled reading order here. 14:42:46 ... How does this doc recommend what to do about reading order. I cannot find this here. Only problems are stated. 14:43:26 gautierchomel: There is no "programmatic reading order" in EPUB. 14:44:08 PaulG: If fixed layout breaks the default order of elements in how they are presented visually, there should be a way to define the reading order. 14:44:19 janina: The question is what does this doc achieve. 14:44:37 PaulG: No recommendation on what to do in these problematic cases. 14:45:18 ... We should have the technology of programmatic reading order. What does EPUB bring onto the table here? 14:46:05 gautierchomel: EPUB 3.3 has this. 14:47:00 s/EPUB 3.3 has this/Not a problem in EPUB since it is HTML5. 14:47:28 janina: There is no guidance as to how to achieve accessibility how we expect it. 14:47:36 ... Change title to "Accessibility challenges"? 14:48:07 ... Or create a spec with normative requirements. 14:48:44 ... Since it is a note, there are no recommendations, only issues. It is an exploratory document. But call it different. 14:49:19 q+ 14:49:26 ... There is a way to have fixed layout and have reflow - but different topic. 14:49:26 q? 14:50:24 PaulG: If EPUB 3.3 has a technical solution of defining a reading order, this doc needs to hint at this solution. 14:50:43 there an attached techniques document: https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub33/fxl-a11y-tech/ 14:50:45 NehaJ has joined #apa 14:51:27 PaulG: Doc is readable, but not necessarily helping to make docs more accessible. 14:51:52 ...
