             Summary: Accessibility home page wrongly states that it is not possible to specify the expanded form of an abbreviation or acronym
                 Key: FOP-3259
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-3259
             Project: FOP
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Daniel Norberg


The Limitations section on the Accessibility home page states the following:

_It's currently not possible to specify the expanded form of an abbreviation or acronym._

But I found that there is a FOP extension fox:abbreviation listed in org.apache.fop.fo.extensions.ExtensionElementMapping.{color:#000000}{color:#0000c0}PROPERTY_ATTRIBUTES{color}{color}

I activated accessibility and tested this with the following FO:

<fo:block>This should be read as a name by a screen reader: <fo:inline fox:abbreviation="John Smith">JS</fo:inline></fo:block>

The NVDA screen reader correctly reads "John Smith" and ignores the visual text "JS". I can also confirm that the PDF tag contains the correct entry for this abbreviation.

I made this test with FOP version 2.9 and suggest that you remove this limitation from the home page and instead put a short description for how to use the abbreviation feature with FOP.
