Hi Kun that's cool you're working on SVG accessibility - and I like the solutions people are coming up with... we're working on making some tactile maps with the used acrylic sheets that are everywhere due to covid prevention efforts https://guides.hsl.virginia.edu/it-services-blog/zoombites/tactile-map-design-in-the-library i bet those SVG files you have would be great for making maps... ________________________________________ From: Code for Libraries <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Guita Lamsechi <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2021 6:20 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Accessibility in SVG Hi Kun, If what you want are text labels inside the SVG files for your library floor map, add the text to the images areas but do not convert the text to raster or vector outlines. Please feel free to provide additional clarification or reach out to me directly, if I can help.

I am wondering if there is a way to add descriptions in SVG to each block (path or rect). Or I am being limited to the alt tag in HTML. Thanks Kun
