Accessibility of the information center


This topic documents the accessibility features of the IBM TPF 4.1 Information Center.

Using a screen reader with the information center: The information center has been tested using screen readers. If you cannot view the information center, a help topic is provided that describes the different panels in the information center, the functions available in each panel, and what happens when you navigate around the information center using your browser's standard navigation keys. Read the Help topic Finding your way around the information center for this information.

Keyboard accessibility features in the information center: Access keys to perform functions are available in the information center, in addition to the keyboard shortcuts supplied in your browser and screen reader. For information on the access keys, read the Help topic Keyboard shortcuts.

Changing font sizes: For information on changing font sizes in the information center, read the Help topic Font sizes.

Alternate text for images: All images in the information center that convey information additional to that which is already mentioned in the text, have alternate text. The standard alternate text cannot include markup (for example, to present items as lists), so where the alternate text is complex, a formatted version is supplied. To display formatted alternate text where available throughout the information center, go to Preferences in the Home navigation panel, select Images, and select 'Display the text description of an image'.

Accessible formats for syntax diagrams: Syntax diagrams in the information center can be displayed in your choice of three formats. The available formats are railroad diagram, BNF, and dotted decimal format. For descriptions of these formats, read the Help topic Syntax diagrams. To change the format of syntax diagrams throughout the information center, go to Preferences in the Home navigation panel, select 'Syntax diagrams', and select your preferred format.

Books that are not available in HTML format: In the Library screen, one book is not available in HTML format. The Licensed Program Specifications is designed as a printable reference guide.
