This issue is a bit weird:

  • On one hand XWiki generates correctly annotated HTML
  • We don't have a hand in the HTML->PDF converter used at all, it's different depending on the browser and OS.

I'm looking for a standard to find out what we're doing wrong, but it's not an easy find.

I hope I'll find something similar to https://www.w3.org/TR/css-page-3/#page-size that talks about these missing properties.

I just checked with the WAI-ARIA website, and they have similar accessibility problems when exported via Ctrl + P

This makes me sway towards the "it's not XWiki's problem, it's the conversion tool that's not up to standard" resolution... but there might be not standard for that yet.
