As previously noted, not all browsers support strict HTML 4.0. This is accomplished by creating a description link near the graphic. Subsequently, when the Web page is rendered in your browser an uppercase letter D is displayed near the graphic functioning as a hyperlink to the file photo.html. The default color of the hyperlink is blue, but it may be different depending on the settings of your Web browser or the color properties established by the Web page author. A common problem with informative text is defining new terms or abbreviations.
Most publishers provide a visual offset, such as italic font, at first use.
HTML provides the ABBR element to do the same for abbreviations. This reinforces the concept of describing everything for your users. For example, it is very helpful to a blind user who is reading a Web page using a speech-based browser because it clarifies the context of what is written, particularly for unfamiliar abbreviations. The important distinction is using each element appropriately. Similar to the concept of properly interpreting text marked up with the ABBR element, a speech-based browser supporting the strict HTML 4.0 specification is able render the meaning of an acronym to an individual who might not otherwise recognize the term when spoken.
