Add Role to Block Quote Table Elements in Email Templates

[EvanParish]

User Story - Business Need

We want to update the template formatting in our utils repo for block quotes. For accessibility reasons, we want all \<table> tags to include role="presentation". When block quotes are added, a table is created in the template. We need to ensure the proper role is added when this happens.

• [ ] Ticket is understood, and QA has been contacted (if the ticket has a QA label).

User Story(ies)

As a Veteran I want to be able to access my email via a screen reader So that I can get the provided information accessibly and accurately.

Additional Info and Resources

• The html email body is created using the get_html_email_body function.
• This task can be accomplished by editing the NotifyEmailMarkdownRenderer or creating a post-processing function to be called as part of get_html_email_body function using regex.
  • Editing the renderer would involve adding more custom features to Mistune, which could make the upgrade more difficult.
  • A post-processing function would involve finding the table elements when block quotes exist and adding the requested role. This can be accomplished with regex trickery.
• ARIA: presentation role

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] When block quote "tables" exist in a template they include role="presentation"
• [ ] This work is added to the sprint review slide deck (key win bullet point and demo slide)

QA Considerations

• [ ] Ensure template previews and sent include role="presentation" in all block quote table tag properties.

@EvanParish is there some sort of figma drawing (or any mock) that shows what this is supposed to look like in a template?
