Integrate xlsx accessibility checker for outputs? #92

Closed matt-dray closed 9 months ago

matt-dray commented 1 year ago

Perhaps there could be some final flagging of the output xlsx to check for outstanding accessibility issues that need to be addressed.

Inspired by James Trimble's tool: ObservableHQ and standalone.

(Also the chance here to create a standalone checker? Particularly re ODS, which James's tool can't do yet. Use {tidyods}, maybe?)

James's tool is now mentioned in the resources for releasing statistics in spreadsheets page of the Analysis Function website (as is {a11ytables}).

Given there are standalone options, I don't think this type of tool should be integrated into {a11ytables}.
