Data tables are not simulated using formatted text.

Data tables must be correctly constructed and not use unconventional separators (spaces, tabs, etc.)

Objectives

• Allow users to access tables that can be used by technical aids.
• Improve the accessibility of content to people with disabilities.
• Improve the consideration of content by search engines and indexing tools

Implementation

• Systematically use the table element and associated elements (tr, td, th, caption... depending on the nature of the table) to mark up data tables.

Control

• Check the source code of the epub HTML page

Validation

• Needs to be human verified.
