Paper Abstract:
|
From the point of view of accessibility, it is extremely important to separate content & structure from presentation in web
pages. That way, the same content can be presented differently to meet the needs and constraints of different users
without loss of information or structure. The traditional use of HTML is centered in presentation but lacking in content
structuring. XML, on the contrary, focuses exclusively on content structuring but is not a friendly format and needs some
transformation to be human-readable. In this paper we propose the structural use of HTML as a way to bridge the gap
between both languages. We will show that this way of authoring web pages will help users with special needs (blind,
low-vision, colorblind, deaf, motor-impaired, and cognitively-challenged) access to the web in a practical way. |
