Mediaobject Semantics

  • The objects inside a mediaobject (or inlinemediaobject) are alternatives.

  • The processor must choose exactly one.

  • Either a textobject containing a single phrase or an alt element (in DocBook V5.0) can be used for “alternate text” for accessibility.

  • A textobject may be used as the “long description” for accessibility.
