Description
Ancillary information, such as a citation or commentary, that provides additional context to a referenced passage of text.
Examples
Example 1 — Footnote
<aside role="doc-footnote">
<p>1. …</p>
</aside>
Relation to ARIA
doc-footnote inherits its semantics from the section role (i.e., it represents a container
of related content, but is not a landmark).
Usage
doc-footnote is typically used on aside elements.
For a simplified list of all the elements the role is allowed on, refer to the mapping table in the EPUB Type to ARIA Role Authoring Guide. For the official list of allowed elements, refer to ARIA in HTML.
