[Xerte] Accessiblity queries

[K.L.Baker]

Hello

We are using Xerte to develop some skills materials at the Open University Library. I am currently investigating the accessibility of the different Xerte templates. I found a useful summary of the Text and Media templates here: http://www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/techdis/pages/detail/online_resources/Xerte_learner_needs

I was wondering if there are similar summaries for the other template types?

I've also been looking at keyboard accessibility. Many of the templates do seem to be accessible using just the keyboard, but I was just wondering why the key used to activate links etc is often the space bar instead of the return key. I thought that the return key was standard - is there a way to change this within Xerte so that the return key is used instead of the space bar?

If you know of any other information which might be helpful in terms of accessibility checking of Xerte please let me know.

Best regards
