Context
Digital accessibility is above all a question of people : giving everyone the opportunity to access, understand and act in the digital world. This principle of inclusion, essential to any equitable society, is now legislated, affirming that equal access to digital is no longer an option, but a collective duty.
Thanks to the update of its components, the Drag & Drop publisher comes to fill its capacity to produce content accessible to all.
Image components
In addition to the alt et title attributes, it is now possible to signify the fact that an image is used as a title and to specify its level in the hierachization.
This content hierachization facilitates keyboard navigation and improves overall message comprehension.
It will be translated via arial-level attributes understandable by assistive technologies (such as screen readers).
Components buttons
In the same way as images, in order to maximize the comprehensibility of a button, it is now possible to add a aria-label attribute. This attribute is used by assistive technologies to specify the latter's action to the user.
Content coding
The addition of an attrbut role="main"at the content coding level makes it easier for assistive technologies to identify the communication.
This therefore improves:
- fast navigation for people using a screen reader,
- understanding page structure,
- and the overall semantic coherence of the communication.
