I am coding these tables in HTML and am required to code for accessibility. Financial tables typically show negative numbers in parentheses. Is that considered 508/WCAG compliant? Or should negative numbers be shown as -$100.00?

The title of the table is "Tax Revenue in Millions of Dollars" and the table headings are years, and then percent change. The table itself doesn't mention dollars. Do I need to put dollar signs before the numbers?

  • It is a coding question because I am trying to code these tables accessibly in HTML. It's not a question about how to represent the numbers - I already know how they do it in print. – RioBrewster Oct 12 '15 at 16:08

Oracle Help implies that parentheses are accessible enough. I would add the dollar signs, but it's a matter of knowing your users. For instance, would you also need to specify that they are US dollars?
