The tactile element

On this page:

The tactile element contains an alternative tactile image. The element may contain one or more identical images for different production methods (e.g., one for swell paper production and another for stereolithograph printing).

The tactile image may also include an explanatory tour .

This specification does not place any restrictions on the format used to represent the tactile image, but images should be final-form representations for output rendering by end users. The role attribute should be used to differentiate the production use for each image.
