Making button links accessible

Commonly, the text displayed in a button is terse and is only given meaning by the surrounding content. For example, a button link displaying the text 'More', does not convey any information about the link destination on it's own. To provide additional meaning to button links, use the 'Hidden before' and 'Hidden after' datadef elements. The value of these elements is used in conjunction with the value of 'Displayed' to form a more informative link phrase that make sense when the link is examined out of context.
