      • Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) cross-references, hyperlinked notes and annotations, or with other actionable links between largely textual elements (e.g., quiz/test questions, 'choose your own ending', etc.).
      • Content includes additional textual content such as an interview, feature article, essay, bibliography, quiz/test, other background material, or text that is not included in a primary or 'unenhanced' version.
      • Content includes figures, diagrams, charts and/or graphs, including other 'mechanical' (i.e. non-photographic) illustrations.
      • Content includes animated / interactive illustrations, e.g., animated diagrams, charts, graphs or other illustrations (usually without sound).
      • Content includes images displayed in a specific order for the purpose of graphic storytelling or giving information (e.g. graphic novels, comics and manga). May include text integrated into the image (as speech and thought bubbles, textual 'sound' effects, captions etc.).

    • Additional Accessibility Information
      • Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
      • Page breaks included from the original print source
      • For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information

      • Where links, controls or buttons are included in the content, the purpose or functionality of each link, control or button is apparent from the associated text alone - or where it is unclear, separate link, control or button descriptions are provided
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
