ADOBE ACROBAT 3D VERSION 8 320 User Guide Note: You can view and edit the role map of a PDF by choosing Options > Edit Role Map in the Tags tab. The standard Adobe element tag types are available in the New Tag dialog box and in the TouchUp Properties dialog box in Acrobat Professional or Acrobat 3D. Adobe strongly encourages using these tag types, because they provide the best results when tagged content must be converted to a different format, such as HTML, Microsoft Word, or an accessible text format for use by other types of assistive technology. Block-level elements are page elements that consist of text laid out in paragraph-like forms. Block-level elements are part of a document's logical structure. Such elements are further classified as container elements, heading and paragraph elements, label and list elements, special text elements, and table elements. Container elements Container elements are the highest level of element and provide hierarchical grouping for other block-level elements. Document Document element. The root element of a document's tag tree. Part Part element. A large division of a document; may group smaller units of content together, such as division elements, article elements, or section elements. Div Division element. A generic block-level element or group of block-level elements. Art Article element. A self-contained body of text considered to be a single narrative. Sect Section element. A general container element type, comparable to Division (DIV Class="Sect") in HTML, which is usually a component of a part element or an article element. Heading and paragraph elements Heading and paragraph elements are paragraph-like, block-level elements that include specific level heading and generic paragraph (P ) tags. A heading (H) element should appear as the first child of any higher-level division. Six levels of headings (H1 to H6) are available for applications that don't hierarchically nest sections. Label and list elements Label and list elements are block-level elements used for structuring lists. L List element. Any sequence of items of similar meaning or other relevance; immediate child elements should be list item elements. LI List item element. Any one member of a list; may have a label element (optional) and a list body element (required) as a child. LBL Label element. A bullet, name, or number that identifies and distinguishes an element from others in the same list. LBody List body element. The descriptive content of a list item. Special text elements Special text elements identify text that isn't used as a generic paragraph (P). BlockQuote Block quote element. One or more paragraphs of text attributed to someone other than the author of the immediate surrounding text. Caption Caption element. A brief portion of text that describes a table or a figure. Index Index element. A sequence of entries that contain identifying text and reference elements that point out the occurrence of the text in the main body of the document. TOC Table of contents element. An element that contains a structured list of items and labels identifying those items; has its own discrete hierarchy.
