122 occurrences of this issue that should be one fix in the CSS. All links she be underlined by default.

IU has a mandate that all web sites published on IU servers must meet WCAG I and II Accessibility requirements. If the requirements are NOT met, sites will be taken down. To learn more about this initiative, visit the Digital Strategy Initiative web site.

@tubesoft : At the Newton meeting today, Bill said you would be working on these accessibility issues. I requested SiteImprove access for you. Once you have access, you will login using your @iu credentials. If you want to read more about SIteImprove and accessibility, LOGIN to the KB and start here.

Could you have a look at this issue and confirm it's something you can fix? Once you confirm, we can figure out a testing workflow.

I am adding text-decoration:underline; for <a> tags in global.css.

However, the browser plugin told me that some other parts were not covered by this CSS code. I will investigate it further.

@tubesoft : thank you! I just wanted to make sure that Bill & Co. could have a sneak peak. We have the page number links in the rendered manuscripts that may not be covered ... I am not sure. Thanks for looking into this.

Since this issue is now part of https://github.com/IUBLibTech/newton_chymistry/pull/146, I will mark this issue as "done" so I can better see the remaining accessibility issues!
