Document structure role

Marks a region of static, readable content where assistive technologies should use their document (browse) reading mode rather than treating it as an application. It's the counterpart to role='application' and restores normal reading-mode keys. It's rarely needed, since browse mode is the default.

Used on
A region read in the assistive tech's document (reading) mode.
Accessible name
Recommended, via aria-labelledby or aria-label.
Example
role="document"
<div role="document" aria-label="Terms">…</div>
