Aim for a Flesch Reading Score of 60 or below. 2. Plain text Plain text is the most universally accessible file format. It is useful when producers are unsure of which assistive technology will be used to access the file. Different conventions exist for formatting plain text documents. Plain text has a unique set of formatting guidelines. Refer to Appendix 2 Guidelines for formatting plain text. 3. DAISY text DAISY is a standard for structured digital books that has been developed by the DAISY Consortium, which is made up of print disability organisations around the world. A DAISY book can include audio, text and images. The treatment of text in a DAISY book is based on XML, and allows a closer representation of the print than any other electronic text format. For example: A reader can navigate directly to a particular page number. DAISY has a page number structure which differentiates between normal numbered pages, preliminary pages, and pages in a special sequence, like a series of images inserted between two numbered pages. DAISY software and DAISY readers provide the ability to navigate directly to a page. In other formats, include the print page number on a separate line, marked by words (Page, Print Page) or letters (p, pp). Footnotes can be marked as a separate structure that the reader can choose to navigate to directly, skip over or access in line with the text. DAISY has its own footnote structure which provides an ideal way of representing footnotes. Readers can choose to read a document with footnotes switched on or off, and can navigate directly to a footnote. In HTML, a common practice is to make the footnote reference a link to the footnote text, which appears at the bottom of the document. The footnote text then includes a link back to the related reference. Text can be represented by using the "sidebar" structure.
