Description
A short section of production notes particular to the edition (e.g., describing the typeface used), often located at the end of a work.
Examples
The label is identified in the aria-labelledby attribute.
<section role="doc-colophon" aria-labelledby="col">
<h2 id="col">Notes on the Type</h2>
…
</section>A label is provided in the aria-label attribute.
<p role="doc-colophon" aria-label="Colophon">
This edition was set on Linotype …
</p>Relation to ARIA
doc-colophon inherits its semantics from the a section role (i.e., it represents a container
of related content, but is not a landmark).
Usage
doc-colophon is typically used on section and div elements when the colophon consists
of more than one paragraph, but can be used on a p tag when the colophon is a single
paragraph without a heading.
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.
