Re: [WSG] Looking for an authority on RTF [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Hi Martin Certainly there is no report or structured analysis I've ever come across in that sense. Myself (as a member of the W3C WCAG Working Group) and the group itself would be more than happy to assist you in formulating a response within our capacity (currently, debates over what consititues web content aside, our line is that if it is marked up according to the general and text Sufficient Techniques, then it certainly is as viable (desirable is another matter being a propriatary format, given we are technology agnostic) as txt or other formats. eg: speaking generally and a bit off the cuff, using structured headings, no images, no tables, no columns = likely no problem. As with any document, the more complex you make it, the harder conformance is to claim. RTF is a topic I am actively exploring with group members at the moment, so your email is certainly timely. I'd also be happy to put you directly in touch with the Microsoft accessibility people who contribute to the group - they will be able to answer specific tech spec questions for you around the format. Anyway - drop me a line off list and I'll be *more* than happy to get the dialogue started. I start a new role in around 10 days, and will be able to provide my new .gov.au address then - the address below will suffice until then (no point sending you my current .gov.au as I won't be in at work for much of this and next week due to conferences etc. Cheers Chris Beer chris at e-beer dot net dot au On 24/05/2011 2:59 PM, Freckmann, Martin wrote: Hi, all. I'm looking for a study, a report or some other structured analysis on the benefits of using Rich Text Format. I'm looking for an authoritative source to support claims that it's a desirable and viable format that aids accessibility. I've tried searching widely, and have not yet found such a resource. I'm beginning to believe the case for the merits of RTF is either hearsay or folklore. Please -- I'm looking for a substantial explanation of the merits of RTF.

Re: [WSG] Document Formats
Hi Kevin You're also touching on accessibility issues there, as well as gov business processes, legal requirements etc etc. One thing I thought worth raising and worth considering though is copyright - do you even have permission to alter the format of the document as submitted to you? US is different to us, I know, but something to keep in mind... We deal with multiple formats in my workplace constantly. Best approach we find, when you can, is HTML first, PDF for print as needed. We try to steer clear of using any file format that isn't an open standard (eg we don't use.xls when we can use .csv) etc as it can imply inferred support or approval for a vendor.

And now, with the release of the latest versions of Ms Office, they are coming to me with an X on their extensions. I have information in the footer of all the web pages for access to free viewers for all documents including these latest extensions. This may be an adequate CYA but I am not convinced it is the best practice. I know this must be confusing for some of our visitors. I would like to ask any of you if you have had to deal with multiple document formats and how you handled this for the best user accessibility. I am thinking the best practice is to have, first, a browser/HTML version, second, a PDF version, and after that whatever version the document was created as, i.e. Ms Word, PowerPoint, etc. Example: ul li Titlea href=info.html titleTitle Web Page (Web Page)/a a href=info.pdf titleTitle in PDF Format (PDF)/a a href=info.docx titleTitle in MS Word Format (Word)/a /li /ul Thank you very much for sharing your experiences on this, Kevin *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *** *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
Re: [WSG] Data URI encoder
Hi Mike I had a play - wow - I seriously didn't realise that you could do this, (although now I think about it, its how Google sends data back to themselves in a 1px by 1 px image yes?) So while I think its a fun tool, I'm wondering what the applications actually would be. And are there tools that do the reverse?
