Diversity & Tools: in-page links #63

Closed nitedog closed 7 months ago

nitedog commented 6 years ago

On the current WAI website we have to link styles: one for off-page and one for in-page links. We make use of that in this resource, when we link to definitions within the same page. For example, this definition for "learning disabilities" refers to other definitions on that same page. These definitions use dashed underline rather than a continual underline, to make these links more subtle visually. Screen readers can provide this information too.

On the new design all links look the same, so definitions seem somewhat strong and maybe even distracting. We should either employ a visual design for such in-page links, use other ways of referencing definitions, or consider reducing the in-page links quite considerably.

As we are not publishing in the new design, for now, we can postpone this. I personally find dashed links more distracting than underlined ones because they are uncommon.

It looks like we don’t have an approach to these. I want to keep the discussion going, but I think this is not a show stopper for now.

Closing issue, as everything has been redesigned. Please re-open if you have specific concerns.
