Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Generating title for "link" element
Hi Dave,
Indeed, it is important. Currently a title
attribute is automatically generated on the <a> element for a
cross reference when the target element of the link has a title. The title
attribute in the link is the title of the target.
I'm not clear that this customization to copy the
link element's text into the title attribute should be the default
behavior. It was my understanding that the title attribute was meant to
add information about the target of the link. It would seem to me
that copying the text of the link into the title attribute is not useful
for that purpose. I mean, the text is present in the link element, and
would be read by the screen reader. Duplicating that text in the title
attribute would be redundant, wouldn't it?
I'm curious what others with experience in
accessibility requirements think.
