| 14 | + <description><h1 id="how-to-make-accessible-pdf">How to make accessible PDF</h1> |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +<p>The “LaTeX Tagged PDF” project is now advanced enough that more and |
| 17 | +more people start using it. We have therefore begun with building |
| 18 | +usage documentation that is not scattered across different |
| 19 | +repositories as this is the case at the moment.</p> |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +<p>For issues encountered with the project code we have added a dedicated |
| 22 | +<a href="https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project"><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">tagging-project</code> |
| 23 | +repository</a> a while ago. |
| 24 | +In this repository people can report problems and look up the current state of |
| 25 | +known issues. It is also hosting discussions related to the project.</p> |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +<p>We have now extended this repository to use GitHub pages providing a |
| 28 | +small <a href="https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/">number of web |
| 29 | +pages</a>. So far it holds</p> |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +<ul> |
| 32 | + <li> |
| 33 | + <p>Examples of Tagged PDFs conforming to the WTPDf, PDF/UA-1, and PDF</p> |
| 34 | + </li> |
| 35 | + <li> |
| 36 | + <p>Guidelines on <a href="https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/documentation/prototype-usage-instructions.html">how to produce accessible |
| 37 | +PDF</a> |
| 38 | +(describing the current tempoary interfaces)</p> |
| 39 | + </li> |
| 40 | + <li> |
| 41 | + <p><a href="https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/tagging-status/">Tables that record the |
| 42 | +status</a> |
| 43 | +of various packages and classes (i.e., whether or not they can be |
| 44 | +used with the new tagging code) based on the issues that are |
| 45 | +already on record</p> |
| 46 | + </li> |
| 47 | +</ul> |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +<p>This documentation and the tables are all work in progress and will |
| 50 | +get updated whenever there is new information.</p> |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +<p>If you want to help improving this, then this is easily possible. We |
| 53 | +are looking for volunteers who try out the tagging code in various |
| 54 | +ways and report problems or package incompatibilites and help with |
| 55 | +developing tests that prove or disprove that the tagging code can be |
| 56 | +used with packages for which we don’t have enough data so far.</p> |

541 |
| - |
542 |
| -<p>We submitted the second pre-release version for the 2023-06-01 LaTeX |
543 |
| -kernel to CTAN recently. It should have made its way into TeX Live |
544 |
| -(both 2022 and the 2023 pre-test) for everyone by now, so it’s ready |
545 |
| -for users to try.</p> |
546 |
| - |
547 |
| -<p>It does not yet contain all updates to the LaTeX format that will |
548 |
| -become part of the standard in June, but the new code already provided |
549 |
| -is worth checking out.</p> |

551 |
| -<h2 id="automated-tagging-of-pdf-documents">Automated tagging of PDF documents</h2> |
552 |
| - |
553 |
| -<p>We have now enabled new automatic tagging functionality for additional |
554 |
| -LaTeX elements, among them most display environments, standard |
555 |
| -sectioning commands and content, figure and table listings.</p> |
556 |
| - |
557 |
| -<p>This can be activated through</p> |
558 |
| -<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>\DocumentMetadata{testphase=phase-III} |
559 |
| -\documentclass{...} % article, book or report |
560 |
| -</code></pre></div></div> |
561 |
| -<p>In addition there is also a (very early) prototype for tagging formulas, which can be activated through</p> |
562 |
| -<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>\DocumentMetadata{testphase={phase-III,math}} |
563 |
| -\documentclass{...} |
564 |
| -</code></pre></div></div> |
565 |
| -<p>It offers support for LaTeX’s standard math environments but also for |
566 |
| -all environments provided through the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">amsmath</code> package.</p> |
567 |
| - |
568 |
| -<p>All of this automation is currently in a prototype state and |
569 |
| -restricted to the use of standard classes (<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">article</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">report</code>, and |
570 |
| -<code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">book</code>) and it supports only a limited number of add-on package. See the |
571 |
| -draft version of the <a href="/news/latex2e-news/ltnews37.pdf">LaTeX2e News |
572 |
| -Issue 37</a> newsletter for further details. It provides information |
573 |
| -how to submit feedback on the new functionality.</p> |
574 |
| - |
575 |
| -<p>The newsletter also covers various other small enhancements or |
576 |
| -corrections that we intend to provide with the June release.</p> |
577 |
| - |
578 |
| -<h2 id="outlook">Outlook</h2> |
579 |
| - |
580 |
| -<p>We expect to produce another pre-release around the end of April, which will |
581 |
| -give us time to finish the release by June. Please help with the testing.</p> |
582 |
| - |
583 |
| -<p>Processing your documents with the pre-release is straightforward. All you have |
584 |
| -to do is to replace the invocation command by appending <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">-dev</code> to the executable, |
585 |
| -e.g., on the command line you would run</p> |
586 |
| - |
587 |
| -<ul> |
588 |
| - <li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pdflatex-dev myfile</code> or</li> |
589 |
| - <li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">lualatex-dev myfile</code> or</li> |
590 |
| - <li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">xelatex-dev myfile</code></li> |
591 |
| -</ul> |
592 |
| - |
593 |
| -<p>instead of using <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">pdflatex</code>, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">lualatex</code> or <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">xelatex</code>. If you use an integrated |
594 |
| -editing environment, then it depends on the system how to configure it to use an |
595 |
| -alternative format; but in any case the necessary modification should be |
596 |
| -straightforward.</p> |
597 |
