2 Structures, navigation and text manipulation

You may lay out using the centering, flushleft and flushright commands however, this information will all be lost to a screenreader user.

\begin{center}
Centered text.
\end{center}

\begin{flushleft}
Flush left text.
\end{flushleft}

\begin{flushright}
Flush right text.
\end{flushright}
Centered text.
Flush left text.
Flush right text.

You may style short pieces of text using font size and text style commands however, this information will be lost to a screenreader user. Text should not be made smaller in order to fit it on a page width or height — this typesetting, rather than encoding of content, will not be retained in transformations. Nor should a mapping to a specific font size be inferred as the normalsize will be different in transformed documents. It should be remembered that such text may impede a partially sighted reader or a reader with a specific reading disability. In general \emph should be used for emphasis, to enable a reader reading the LaTeX  to comprehend the intention and overridden so that this maps to bold to ensure clear print. Rather than using \texttt for text intended to be understood as verbatim the command \verb should be used, again, to enable a reader reading the LaTeX  to comprehend the intention.

Commands used:

\tiny, \scriptsize, \footnotesize, \small, \normalsize, 
\large, \Large, \LARGE, \huge, \Huge
\textrm, \rm, \textsc, \sc, \texttt, \tt, \textit, \it,
\textsf, \sf, \textsl, \sl, \textbf, \bf

Standard text. Tiny text. Scriptsize text. Footnotesize text. Small text. Normalsize text. large text. Large text. LARGE text. huge text. Huge text.

Standard text. Roman text. Roman inline. Small caps text. Small caps inline. Typewriter text. Typewriter inline. Italics text. Italics inline. Sans serif text. San serif inline. Slant text. Slant inline. Bold text. Bold inline. A combination of bold and italic text. A combination inline of bold and inline italics.

Commands to add whitespace such as bigskip, medskip etc. can be used but again, may not be honoured in the transformation and the information will be lost to a screenreader user.

Newline commands including \\, \newline and \linebreak must not be used to manipulate the text layout as this can lead to significant layout problems under some transformations.
