This document describes techniques for authoring accessible Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML) content
(refer to HTML 4.01
[HTML4]). This document is intended to help authors of Web content
who wish to claim conformance to "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0"
([WCAG10]). While the techniques in
this document should help people author HTML that conforms to "Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0", these techniques are neither guarantees of
conformance nor the only way an author might produce conforming content.
This document is part of a series of documents about techniques for
authoring accessible Web content. For information about the other documents in
the series, please refer to "Techniques for Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines 1.0" [WCAG10-TECHS].
Note: This document contains a number of examples that
illustrate accessible solutions in CSS but also deprecated examples that
illustrate what content developers should not do. The deprecated examples are
highlighted and readers should approach them with caution -- they are meant for
illustrative purposes only.
