Extended description placed on a separate HTML file and connected with the image by using hyperlinks
Notes about techniques
In this chapter the extended description is placed at the end of the book as a single file with one description per file. It is expected that this approach will appeal to publishers that do not want the descriptions to impact the appearance of the content. The approaches have the lowest impact on the visual layout. The bar chart has a text link. A link back to the image is provided to take the reader back to the same location where they left off reading in the primary flow of content.
The test below refers to the bar chart image immediately following.
extdescription-020Technique for linking to a single extended description placed in a separate HTML file via text hyperlinks
Check if activating the hyperlink placed under the image takes you to a separate HTML file with extended descriptions, and the back link there brings you back to the image.
This test passes if all the following steps are successful:
The link "Follow for extended description" is reported, and on activating, it takes the focus to the HTML file with the extended description. The precision of landing position on the HTML page does not matter because there is only one extended description on this file.
You can read the extended description
On activating the link "Navigate back to Bar Chart image" below the extended description, it takes the focus back to original position in this chapter.
