Murata, Makoto2025-09-242025-09-242019https://repository.ifla.org/handle/20.500.14598/6705Accessibility of publications is not possible without the support of publishers, bookstores, libraries, and reading systems. EPUB 3 and EPUB Accessibility 1.0, which are standards published by IDPF, W3C, and ISO/IEC, help these players to interwork for better accessibility. Moreover, web standards such as HTML and CSS provide a basis of accessibility of publications. An upcoming extension to CSS is expected to help those Japanese dyslexia users who cannot divide character sequences into words.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Why Standards Matter: They Allow People to Work Together for Better Accessibility of PublicationsArticlehttps://2019.ifla.org/conference-programme/poster-sessions/open accessEPUBAccessibilityCSSJapaneseDyslexia
