Block Accessibility Checks

Deskripsi

Accessibility is a crucial aspect of web content creation. Many organizations must adhere to strict WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) requirements. While the Gutenberg block editor significantly enhances content management, it still allows the publication of content that may not meet basic accessibility standards. This plugin offers site owners and content editors configurable block checks. These checks can either enforce strict accessibility error notices to prevent publishing or provide warnings in the editor while still allowing publication.

The following is a list of checks that are configurable for core blocks. Each check can be set to error (default), warning or none.

• core/button: Checks for text and link on each button
• core/heading: Prevents the usage of an level one heading in the content
• core/gallery: Checks for alternative text on an image
• core/image: Checks for alternative text on an image
• core/image: Adds a toggle to confirm image use as decorative allowing for bypass accessibility check
• core/table: Checks for a table header row on each individual table block
