Minor Accessibility Issues: Adding Title, Alt Text Spacing, Table/Figure Links

[chantelwetzel-noaa]

There are a few minor fixes need to the following items to address some minor accessibility issues:

• Need to define document title that shows up as the title in the pdf document #48

• Figure captions are included in figure tag. would be better if captions were tagged separately as text. Consider adding more space between the figure and the caption — white space helps the tagger do its work

• tagged annotations — most of these appear to be internal links — the “live” TOC that lets you click to go directly to a page, or the URLs in your references list, or the numbers of Figures and Tables that were, presumably, autogenerated by a field and that you can click to go directly to that table or figure. Ideally these should be read by the screen reader to refer the the table or figure numbering without the linkage (no navigation via clicking). Do we want/need this linking in the final document versions? We are allowed to post noncompliant versions of documents as long as there is also a compliant version, clearly labeled as such, close by. that would allow you to have one version with live links (that you don’t bother making compliant), and then a compliant one where the links are dead but everything is accessible.
