Could someone tell me if they agree this is a problem? I'll try and state it more clearly:
The convention, stated on w3c: http://www.w3.org/Talks/1999/11/15-WAI- MS/slide21-0.html is to use meaningful text for links. So rather than "click here" the text should be something which a non visual browser can interpret and say "Aha, this link is to the document called 'Dear John' ". In the case of the help.ubuntu.com page that would mean something like <a href="/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html>"Ubuntu Desktop Guide"</a> or you can download the guide as a 683 KB PDF <a href="/6.10/pdf/ubuntu/C/desktopguide.pdf">UbuntuDesktopGuide.pdf</a> Expecting new users to understand they should click on a link called "HTML" in order to read the documentation is _not_ user friendly and ignores a good W3C recomedation. -- link to HTML on h.u.c. has unclear function https://launchpad.net/bugs/54628 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
