Key terms have word "new" preceding definition

single pointer
new
pointer input that operates with one point of contact with the screen, including single taps and clicks, double-taps and clicks, long presses, and path-based gestures

up-event

Jake, I'm seeing the word 'new'. I note that in Reflow, the "New" is capitalized.
These Key Terms sections are not actually in the Understanding documents, but generated. @michael-n-cooper, I have made the change under /terms/21.
I note that the dfn for CSS pixel (from Reflow) contains a data-lt attrbute missing from the up-event and down-event. Since other of the new ones also have this, and the -lt attribute seems to be a form of plurality indicator, I didn't touch it here, but wanted to note.
#711

I'm not sure but assuming the request here is to suppress the generation of "new" from key terms, which is a hold-over from the working draft stage. I'll put that on my list.

https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/pointer-gestures.html#key-terms

single pointer
new
pointer input that operates with one point of contact with the screen, including single taps and clicks, double-taps and clicks, long presses, and path-based gestures

@jake-abma a "point" on that key term...noting that a mouse is also a "pointer" and has no "contact with the screen" as such (only in an abstract sense)

@patrickhlauke thanks, I know, I use Wacom pen, most of the time don't touch anything. But this one is about the word "new", not about the definition :-)
