Description

The admin templates were recently converted to HTML5. Since then, the W3C validator raises the following error on the admin index:

The summary attribute is obsolete. Consider describing the structure of the table in a caption element or in a figure element containing the table; or, simplify the structure of the table so that no description is needed.

I'm not sure this is ready. Summary attribute was not displayed by default in browsers, while caption tag is. I'm not sure we suddenly want to display the summary content.

I agree with claudep. That would look weird.

Yes, the problem reported might be real but the proposed solution isn't semantically right for our use case. Moving back to accepted.

Created a pull request for this: https://github.com/django/django/pull/104

It moves the contents of the summary attribute into the title attribute of the a tag. This may be more useful than before because the summary tag was usually completely thrown away by most browsers. In this case, in most browsers, hovering over the text in the table caption will show the desired "summary"

Sorry, I've referenced the wrong ticket in the commit message above. It should have been #18379.
