# ACCESSIBILITY
-Create a tagged and structured PDF file.
+A LaTeX package to create a tagged and structured PDF file.
-By Babett Schalitz & Andy Clifton
+By Babett Schalitz (2007).
-Last updated 13 October 2019
-Version 2.0.2
+Maintained by Andy Clifton (2019 - )
## Description
-
The `accessibility` package is intended to create tagged, structured PDF documents from LaTeX2e source code.
-This package is predominantly targeted at documents produced using the KOMAscript document classes.
+This package is intended for documents produced using PDFLaTeX.
-Originally programmed in 2007 by Babett Schalitz as a Masters project at
-TU Dresden, the maintenance of the accessibility package has been taken up
-by Andrew Clifton with her agreement.
+### Note to version 1.x
+`accessibility` was originally programmed in 2007 by Babett Schalitz as part of a Masters project at TU Dresden. `accessibility` was not released through CTAN, but the accessibility.sty file was available through Babett's personal homepage.
### Note to version 2.0.x releases
+The maintenance of the accessibility package was taken up in 2019 by Andrew Clifton with Babett Schalitz's agreement. Babett also provided her original .dtx and .ins files, as well as some scripts.
-These versions are based almost entirely on Babett's hard work. I have made
-some changes to the source code to make the output files conform to CTAN
-requirements and to make it simpler to work with GitHub.
+This release is based almost entirely on her original files, but has been recompiled with TexLive 2018. Some changes have been made to the source code to fix package interactions and to make the output files conform to CTAN requirements. Most of the scripts and directory structure have been changed to make it simpler to work with GitHub.
-### Bugs, errors, feedback
+As a result of these changes and the length of time since the package was first written, it is not clear if the package's behaviour is the same as the original version. Therefore the major version number has been incremented to 2.x.x.
-Please report all problems to https://github.com/AndyClifton/accessibility/issues. Also, please note that I cannot enter into detailed discussions about individual documents, but am happy to address anything that might impact all users.
+See the CHANGELOG.md file for some information about changes.
