Figure with Link

[romantoda]

The usual tagging for Image with link would be

<Figure>
    <Link>
        Content

in case of inline image, current text isn't clear about the link becoming a parent of them

Here is an example of this structure — though not necessarily inline — where the logo at the very beginning becomes the Skip to Main link for Accessibility. This allows easier access to the main substance of a document, skipping past all the front-matter such as Cover page(s), Title page, Table of Contents, Lists of Figures/Tables, Glossaries, etc.

• It looks like this in the HTML Accessibility tree:

• and like this with HTML tagging and attributes shown:

Notice the CSS rule display:inline-block; on the <a> tag, due to the class InlineLink. This is a minor detail that causes the thick blue border around the logo to be correctly sized when the link-anchor has focus; e.g. initially, due to autofocus. Without that CSS rule, the full logo is still active, though the focus rectangle will not show the correct height.

Presumably for an inline image to show the correct active size, it'll need a similar CSS rule.

The class="Xlink", which is used with all link anchors, concerned with the namespace for XML links.
It is WCAG criterion SC 2.4.1 that recommends having a "Skip to main" link at the beginning of an HTML document.

I think that tagging

 <Figure> { <Link> {content} }

a.)
Isn’t best pracise and we should encourage <Link> { <Figure> {content} }
Which derives fine into <a> <figure> <img> </img> <figure> </a>

The problem is with inline images <P>{ <Link>{ <Figure>}}

Proposal:
Figures and formulae in “inline mode” - as a child of P containing Link or Reference would be subject of the same derivation as Figure being direct child of P

b.)
Isn’t explicitly disallowed. What would be the use case? If link annotation only covers portion of the image?
But generally I don’t see a problem with following derivation either:

<figure>
  <a href="">
  <img src="pic.jpg">
  </a>    
  <figcaption>sadfasd</figcaption>
</figure>
