Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Summary|ODF, support for |ODF, support for |office:text on hyperlinks |office:title on hyperlinks --- Comment #2 from Christophe Strobbe <[email protected]> --- This enhancement request is still valid for OpenOffice 4.0. Section 19.383 in the ODF 1.2 spec, part 1 indeed says: "The office:title attribute specifies a short accessible description." Appendix D.2. "Hyperlink Titles" adds: "(...) When exporting OpenDocument documents to HTML, the contents of title text should be mapped to title attribute text on HTML anchor tags. As a minimum, authoring tools should provide a mechanism to provide the hint text. The title text should be made accessible to the assistive technology and user. The user agent should allow for programmatic access through standard accessibility APIs such as the accessible description. Users should experience visible access to the hint text via the keyboard or mouse." Note that it is much more important to provide a human-readable link text, i.e. the text of the link should be something like the title of the target document rather than the URL itself. The link text is displayed in the "Text" field in the hyperlink dialog. The importance of office:title for links is debatable. In HTML, this corresponds to the title attribute on the a element, which is visible on hover, but not accessible for keyboard users (sighted or blind). Screen readers do not read the title attribute on links by default, AFAIK. Supporting office:title enables better import and export of HTML, more than anything else. Note: I renamed the bug from "... support for office:text ..." to "... support for office:title ...", since that seemed to be the intent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
