Hi,
Attached is a patch for Bug 39561 "Use svg:title, not svg:desc for
XHTML img alt attribute [accessibility]"
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39561>.
I am new to Git and LibreOffice development and generated this
patch with "git diff ..." (I couldn't figure out how to use format-patch).
the patch looks fine, but I am not at all sure about which attribute
should be mapped into the 'alt' tag, to me the description seems
like a better fit ( a more verbose image replacement is better ? ),
svg:title should definitely be mapped to the alt attribute (based on
my understanding of XHTML, ODF and SVG, and on 10 years of R&D in
accessibility).
The user should be able to decide whether or not to get a long
description after getting the "short" description. A long description
is not required for every image.
otoh it would seem that the html & xhtml filters should be
consistent. I've committed the patch to master in any case,
thanks for the patch
btw, can you confirm patch is LGPLv3+/MPL1.1,
I confirm that I make this patch available under LGPLv3+/MPL1.1.
By the way, I could not find the full process for fixing and closing
bugs on <http://www.libreoffice.org/get-involved/developers/> or
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development>. I missed:
* any mention of the need to confirm that you submit your patch under
LGPLv3+/MPL1.1 (and that you can make a blanket statement like the
one by Lionel Elie Mamane two days ago
<http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-August/016134.html>;
* Who closes the reported bug and when (presumably only after it has
been committed). (Ah, I just noticed Noel closed the bug.)
Who should I contact to update the Wikipage?
Best regards,
Christophe
