  • Facilitate the identification of links.

Implementation

  • Do not use underscore for simple texts or elements that do not constitute links.

Control

  • In each file containing underlined content :
    • Identify underlined texts in ebook;
    • Controlling the nature of these contents to verify whether they are actually hyperlinks.

Validation

  • Needs to be human verified.
