[Athen] [EXTERNAL] Zoning a Book

[Alexis Delevett]

As I understand it, Zoning in Alt Media refers to outlining the reading order or even excluding non-linear text items (such as the asides often found in textbooks which may disrupt/confuse automated text-to-speech functionality).

Depending on your platform you may want to google how to zone edit [your platform].

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Athen] Zoning a Book


Greetings,

    I am new to the field and my predecessor makes a few references to “zoning a book” in their notes but not much detail is included.  Googling has only presented me with other forms of zoning, so could someone please explain what “zoning” is in reference to making a book more accessible, as well as some tips for this process.



Thanks,
