Lists

The following criteria are taken from the checklist:
  • Lists: Enumerations and numberings are marked as such.

Lists are often hierarchical structures. In order to make them more than just visually appropriate, they need to use structural elements or styles to create them. This allows users of assistance systems to skip lists or individual entries, as well as create another presentation that suits them better.

Markup of Lists

HTML tags: numbered list: <ol>, bullet list: <ul>, list elements: <li>
Example code of a nested list 
                      
                          <ol>
                              <li>This is the first item of the ordered list</li>
                                  <ul>
                                      <li>This is the first item of the nested unordered list</li>
                                  </ul>
                          </ol>
Definition lists do not use list items for structuring, but rather terms. <dl> Creates a definition list. The list elements are a term <dt> and its definition <dd> instead of <li>. 
                    
                        <dl>
                          <dt>Date</dt>
                          <dd>Calendar entry 1</dd>
                          <dd>Calendar entry 2</dd>
                        </dl>
The following criteria are taken from the checklist:
  • Lists and numberings are marked as such. They are tagged using the <L> structural element, with sub-items designated as <LI>.

Markup of Lists

LaTeX does not currently support automatic tagging, so the correct tags must be added in post-processing.
See Guidebook: „Example PDF Tags“ for help with tagging.
