WCAG 2.2 errata. perimeter definition

[rscano]

Perimeter definition has title="[New]">minimum bounding box. title should be: "the smallest enclosing rectangle aligned to the horizontal axis within which all the points of a shape lie."

@rscano I assume you are referring to https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#dfn-perimeter

Are you advocating that the first line of the minimum bounding box definition be swapped in place of a link to the minimum bounding box definition?

[rscano]

In the code the title attribute is set as "[new]". For all other definition, when linked inside document, title attribute is an abstract of first sentence in glossary. So text should be:

<dd class="new">
	<p class="change">[New]</p>	
   <p>continuous line forming the boundary of a shape not including shared pixels, or the <a href="#dfn-bounding-boxes" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn" id="ref-for-dfn-bounding-boxes-2" title="the smallest enclosing rectangle aligned to the horizontal axis within which all the points of a shape lie">minimum bounding box</a>, whichever is shortest.</p>
  <aside class="example" id="example-16"><div class="marker">Example</div><p>The perimeter calculation for a 2 CSS pixel perimeter around a rectangle is 4<em>h</em>+4<em>w</em>, where <em>h</em> is the height and <em>w</em> is the width. For a 2 CSS pixel perimeter around a circle it is 4𝜋<em>r</em>.</p></aside>
</dd>

@iadawn is this "New" title being formed in code due to the fact the first paragraph in the dd for bounding box is "new"?

@rscano is pointing out that it should be the made from the second paragraph, where the actual definition is located

[iadawn]

This is added as part of the build process via the wcag.js script.

This code will add in a title with the content from the first child element of the linked definition. If the linked definition happens to be new then the first child element is <p class="change">New</p>

@iadawn same issue is flagged for different new definitions in all of the following:
#3499
#3495
#3496
#3501

These definitions already have a class of "new"; is it possible to use CSS to put the "NEW" text where you want positionally, while leaving it underneath the paragraph containing the definition in the DOM (and thus not picked up by the script)?

[rscano]

Sorry but my note wasn't for the NEW in paragraph but for the "new" as title inside the code for title attribute:

<a href="#dfn-bounding-boxes" class="internalDFN" data-link-type="dfn" id="ref-for-dfn-bounding-boxes-2" title="[New]">minimum bounding box</a>

Sorry but my note wasn't for the NEW in paragraph but for the "new" as title inside the code for title attribute:

Yes, but since that paragraph is the first child of the definition, its contents ("NEW") is being populated as the title value, as pointed out in prior discussion:

This code will add in a title with the content from the first child element of the linked definition. If the linked definition happens to be new then the first child element is

New
