Description_image: caption text is necessary #131

Closed AnneliesVerroken closed 3 years ago

AnneliesVerroken commented 3 years ago

To meet the requirements of the WCAG guidelines, an image in a text must always be accompanied by a caption text. Currently, this is only possible under the image, in the same font size/ line spacing as all other text. This is not a desirable outcome. Is it possible to have a possibility to add a caption text to a specific image, that would appear right under the image, preferably in a slightly smaller font and in grey? This goes for all text fields where you can add an image (description of guided processes, steps, event, information center, ... )

W3 indicates that the alternative text should be used to comply with WCAG: https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/informative/ This text does not show as a caption, but it can be added as a caption under the image if necessary.

Hey Ivan,

Yes, that is exactly what I read. What do you suggest precisely? To do it as I did herehttps://migrants.micadoproject.eu/events/62? So write it in the normal text edit under the picture? I was wondering if there was a way to define it more as caption text, closer to the Image, or is that not desirable?

In general (just out of personal interest) what level of the WCAG do we aim at? AA or AAA?

Have a nice day!

The user will have in the image dialog a field to add a text alternative to the image such as this: chrome_VFUBEFTvnd When uploading the image only the image will be shown to normal readers, but it will be helpful to people that use screen readers (it would be read aloud like "image, text alternative to the image"). This field is not mandatory if the image has only decorative purposes or there is enough text context below the image. About the level of WCAG I'm not entirely sure, maybe @gioppoluca knows more. I personally think that level AA is reasonable enough unless it was already specified to use AAA.

That will be perfect indeed! Thanks!
