Accessibility of portal content produced by authoring tool (kupu) -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GRFT-102 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GRFT-102 Project: Graffito Issue Type: Improvement Components: Portlets Environment: Now running on ie and mozilla but for accessibility should support all browsers (maybe consider an applet editor ??) Reporter: Evangelos Vlachogiannis Priority: Minor Current version of kupu html editor produces really very bad markup in terms of accessibility but even for validity. For instance the font tag must really be avoided - use css style instead (like new 1.3.5 ver does). So a shift to the new version is a step towards better accessibility. Further, these are other relating problems that should be solved: 1. currently the editor portlet page in jetspeed contains 2 <html> tags which is really unacceptable!!. 2. Seeking for real xhtml (a base for accessibility) the editor should provide only semantic markup. For example could provide strong instead of bold and emphasis instead of underline or/and provide bold bolder etc using css. 3. For a portal creating content it actually means creating a page fragment. This means that the editor should allow for global markup and also provide apropriate css classes for styling according to JSR-168. Well, most of the issues are actually concern the editor and I might submit also to kupu but I find important to sync such work.
