Accessible PDF Conversion— Reach Everyone.
Equidox Training—Lists.
Choose your document from the Documents View
and click on the page you wish to remediate
from the Document Detail.
Here we see a page of simple lists.
For correctly tagged lists, each list has a zone
and each list item contained within it also has a zone.
Equidox will auto-tag most lists.
Draw or select the zone around the list items
and choose List from the Zone Type dropdown box
under the Zone tab.
Be sure the left-hand margin is covering the list delineator—
in this case, a dash.
You will need to be sure
that the list is correctly marked as Unordered or Ordered.
The selected list in this case is Unordered,
then choose the Detect button.
When we enlarge the document using the zoom out button,
we can see that Equidox has auto-tagged
the list item within the list.
We can do the same for the next list.
Instead of using the dropdown box,
you can also change the zone to a list by selecting it
and using the “L” key.
Be careful that the list zone does not overlap any other zones
except those for the list items.
Overlapping other zones will cause the list
to be improperly tagged.
Again, we choose
the Detect button and Equidox auto-tags
the list items within the list zone.
Select the zone and press “L” to change the zone to a list
making sure the left-hand margin covers the list delineators—
in this case, bullets.
Note here that Equidox has auto-tagged the list items,
but now the list zone
doesn't include all of the items.
You can correct this by selecting the list zone
and extending it to fit
completely around all of the list items.
You can also use the zone position fields
to make these adjustments.
The next list is an ordered list using numbers.
When you select the zone, you will need to change the list
from the default setting of Unordered to Ordered.
Then, select the type of ordering for your list
from the dropdown box...
and press Detect.
Check that the list zone surrounds all of the list items.
This list is ordered using lowercase letters.
Note also that, if necessary,
you can start at a number other than 1.
Simply change the number in the Start At field.
You will use numbers to indicate
where to start even if the list is ordered using letters.
Here you can see that the list items,
when auto-tagged, do not properly include the contents.
To correct this, move the list zone away
from the list item zones so that you can adjust them.
Adjust the zones making sure they do not overlap.
They also should not include the list delineators,
only the list contents.
Then replace the list zone over the list items
and adjust it to fit around all of the list item zones.
Press Save This Layout and preview the page.
Notice that not all the lists and list items
are in the correct order.
This is because we have added and moved zones.
Go back to the Document Detail...
under the Page tab and choose the Re Order button.
Now a preview shows the lists
and their contents in the correct order.
Let's examine a multi-level list or a nested list.
As with a simple list,
each list item must be tagged with its own zone.
Each level of the nested list will contain its own list zone.
In order for the list tags to be properly nested,
each level of zones
must be part of the previous level’s list item.
Select the list items, create a list zone around them,
and then make sure the list item
to which the subsidiary list zone belongs
fully surrounds the nested list zone.
It's helpful to know that any text zone
contained within a list zone will function as a list item.
Be sure the list item zones
do not overlap as this will create errors.
Use the Preview function to check your work
and don't forget to reorder the zones
after your nested list tags are created.
This page contains both simple and nested lists.
When you are creating the list zone,
remember to position the list zone margin
over the list delineators whether they are ordered
or unordered, bullets, numbers, or letters.
Once you've pressed the Detect button,
check that all the list item zones
are contained fully within a list zone.
Be sure to choose the correct item
from the Ordered dropdown box
and change the Start At field if needed.
If the Detect button fails to auto-detect the list items,
adjust your list zone
so that the list delineators are within the left-hand margin,
then press Detect again.
For nested lists, you can create your list zones
from largest to smallest.
Move aside the list zone and the list item zone
to allow you to create a nested list zone beneath.
Choose the correct delineator and press Detect.
Then replace, first, the list item zone
making sure the subordinate list zone is fully surrounded
and that it does not contain the list delineator.
Do not allow the list item zones to overlap.
Then, replace the primary list zone.
Don't forget to reorder the zones from the Page tab
once you have completed your nested list;
this will ensure that they appear correctly
to a screen reader and in your preview.
For a more complex nested list, the same procedures apply.
Create your list zones, choose the delineators,
and press Detect.
Then, move them aside to allow you to create
the nested lists beneath.
This can involve several layers of lists and list items.
It's important to be sure the list items fully surround
any nested lists
or contents without including the list delineators
and that the list zone fully surrounds all of the list items
that should be contained.
Sometimes it can be challenging
to prevent the zones from overlapping.
Work your way from one nested list to the next
until you are able to replace the primary list zone
and reorder all the zones...
then preview.
