The World Wide Web Consortium’s “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines“, (the W3C’s WCAG) are developed for web content, but they are also applicable to other forms of digital content – like ebooks.
ARIA roles are auto added to ebook sections and page markers and for styles we are encouraged to indicate use the h1-h6 heading levels plus these more descriptive HTML tags where appropriate for Paragraph Styles:
- Sections
- Headings
- Sidebars
- Citations
- Block Quotes
For Images:
- Figures
And for Character Styles:
- Bold and Italic
- Emphasis and Strong
