Abstract
Multimedia titles use technology which offers a good basis for use by print-disabled people. However, lack of appropriate document structures and difficulties in navigating multimedia titles limits the readership. We propose a new approach to design of multimedia documents by separating contents from interaction techniques while using XML standards. From these XML-based documents and their mapping the final multimedia title can be generated using industry standards.
