Hi All,

I am making an interview transcript accessible. These are also used for
captioning, hence the names are shown in full so people know who is talking
(the interviewer is off screen).

I have a cover page that will have the H1 and H2 on it, and then I thought
I would just do this:

Interviewer name:: <h3>Question that could go on and on and on</h3>
Interviewee name: Answer
Interviewer name:: <h3>Question that could go on and on and on</h3>
Interviewee name: Answer
etc

The questions can be quite long and go on from 1-20 lines, which concerns
me when it is a heading.

My other possibility is to add Q1, Q2, Q3 and just H3 those, so that a
screen reader user sees that as a list-it doesn't give them any detail but
at least they can go to each question. Example:


<h3>Q1</h3>Interviewer name:: Question that could go on and on and on
Interviewee name: Answer
<h3>Q2</h3>Interviewer name:: Question that could go on and on and on
Interviewee name: Answer
etc

Which would you do? Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Lisa
