Examples from #4194
Note that the ^
is too small to be a link, the minimum size is given by WCAG 2.5.8 as 24 px by 24 px.
It is only 6.5px by 20.8px.
Dynamic page breadcrumb is for future discussion.
@StephDriver Split this into individual issues for more immediate work.
cross references to other sections (e.g. a 'see section 4') are not consistently marked up as internal links, even within the same article, some will be marked as links, some will be plain text.
- This is a matter of user content - added to placeholder for Phase 2 issues #4085
The indices used to indicate an endnote are not contextual links
- indices for endnotes should be connected to their destination anchor by
aria-labelledby
to give them context - the same approach as is being used for citation links in #3939 so I have added this to that issue.
Material theme does allow for return from endnote to original position, but does not have contextual links for this, with all such links being 'carat'
^
which is also too small a target for accessible selection.
- [x] style the carat to make it meet WCAG 2.5.8
for figures, there is no distinction made between the cross-reference link to the figure, and the link which enlarges the figure.
- [ ] update 'enlarge figure' links to state exactly that - that they enlarge the figure. An aria-label could be used here, but I'd prefer the link itself to be visually obvious as to its purpose.
@StephDriver to create a separate issue for the carat, to investigate what others are doing and design the content and appearance of the back reference button.
This issue is now just about the other button for enlarging figures.

this is now set as:
Background
Cross referencing, and returning back to the original position having followed up on a cross reference are important for the readability of articles. This needs to work better. Our current situation is outlined below:
