see https://github.com/atticus-sullivan/kata/issues/4

  • is it "correct" to use $\arrowdown$ -> required math support, though this is not about math at all? -> Probably not -> how to fix this?
  • there is an empty (spurious?) text after each tikzpicture -> should this be avoided? (if so, what is the source of this)
  • there is also an empty (spurious?) text before the first tikzpicture -> should this be avoided? (probably created by all the \pars in the begin code of the kata environment

some references: - https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/ - https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project/discussions/789 Online tool for validating pdfs: https://texlive.net/showtags (prefer offline-use with [`show-pdf-tags`](https://ctan.org/pkg/show-pdf-tags) to reduce load on the server) Additional (online) tools listed at https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/documentation/#testing-tagged-pdf-documents

\DocumentMetadata{
	lang=en-GB,
	tagging=on,
	pdfstandard=ua-2,
	pdfversion=2.0,
	tagging-setup={math/setup=mathml-SE},
}

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[definealiases]{kata}

\begin{document}
\begin{kata}[width=1,color={waza=pink}]{Extended Example}{blue}
	\begin{step}[head style={dashed}]
		\stance{stance A}{0}
		\waza{technique A}{-90}
		\dir{center}{90}
	\end{step}
\end{kata}
\end{document}

actually seems to result in a document which complies with the standard (according to https://texlive.net/showtags, but that doesn't need to be correct)

https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb42-2/tb131fischer-tagpdf.pdf seems to be a nice intro so far. The mentioned (online) tool

is quite nice for viewing what the tagging information actually contains (and means with respect to html). In particularly this is true for Linux-Users without access to Adobe Acrobat Reader

https://tug.org/TUGboat/tb44-2/tb137fischer-tagging23.pdf interesting, but only about the process/progress (just like the title suggests)
