New section on spacing, other additions
- Mention checking privacy policies for 3p content - Elaborate on more mainstream examples of color overrides - Link to CSS WG docs instead of MDN for prefers-contrast since they're more detailed. - Specify that I'm just removing margins in <figure> elements for quotations.

The Web version of this page only uses non-default colors when a user agent requests a dark color scheme (using the "prefers-color-scheme" CSS media query; see the next subsection) and for lightening borders. Any image with a solid background may match the page background; to ensure that their dimensions are clear, I surrounded them with borders. I also set a custom color for the borders and ensure that the image backgrounds don't match the border colors. I included borders further down to break up next/prev post navigation as well as separate footers, since these elements lack heading-based delineation. When overriding color schemes or disabling CSS altogether, the page layout remains clear.

|
||||
Browser default stylesheets typically give <figure> elements extra margins on the left and right. <blockquote> elements have a large indent. Combining these two properties gives the final quotation an excessive visual indent, wasting precious vertical screen space. When quoted text contains list elements (<ol>, <dl>, <ul>), the indentation alone may fill most of a narrow viewport!
|
||||
|
||||
I chose to remove the margins in <figure> elements. If you're reading the Web version of this page with its own stylesheet enabled, in a CSS 3 compliant browser, you might notice that the blockquotes on it have a minimal indent and a thick gray border on the left rather than a full indent. These two adjustments allow blockquotes containing bulleted lists to fit on most narrow viewports, even when wrapped by a <figure> element. Browsers that do not support CSS 3 properties such as "padding-inline-start" will render quoted text using default stylesheets (probably with an indent), which are perfectly usable if a bit inconvenient.

Another example: outside the Web, I prefer indenting code with tabs instead of spaces. Tab widths are user-configurable, while spaces aren't. HTML pre-formatted code blocks, however, are best indented with two spaces. Default browser stylesheets typically represent tabs with an excessive indent, which can be annoying on narrow viewports.
|
||||
|

### When indentation helps
|
||||
|

Excessive indentation can make reading difficult for narrow viewports, but preserving some indentation is still useful.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, I've decided to keep the indents on list elements (<ol>, <dl>, <ul>) since I often fill them with links. See see this article's table of contents on its Web mirror for an example:

Small phones typically support display rotation. When phones switch to landscape-mode, vertical space becomes precious. Fixed elements (e.g. dickbars) become a major usability hazard.

Designers often use figures to “break up” their content, and provide negative space. This is good advice, but I don’t think people pay enough attention to the flipside: splitting up content with too many figures can make reading extremely painful on a short viewport. Design maxims usually lack nuance.
|
||||
|
||||
There’s an ideal range somewhere between “cramped” and “spaced-apart” content. Finding this range is difficult. The best way to resolve such difficult and subjective issues is to ask your readers for feedback, giving disproportionate weight to readers with under-represented needs (especially disabled readers).

Having clearly distinguished links also helps users decide safe places to tap the screen. See the "In defense of link underlines" section for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tap targets
|
||||
|
||||
Tap targets should be at least 44 pixels tall and wide according to the WCAG, large enough to easily tap on a touch­screen. The WCAG makes an exception for inline targets, like links in a paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
=> https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#target-size-enhanced WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.5.5: Target Size (Enhanced)
|
||||
|
||||
Google has far more aggressive recommendations: it recommends raising the limit 48 pixels regardless of whether tap targets are inline, going so far as to make tap target size a ranking factor in search.
|
||||
|
||||
On lists without visible bullets, I dropped the default indentation. I had to find other ways to ensure adequate tap-target size *and* provide sufficient space for readers with hand-tremors to scroll. Some examples:

|
||||
|
||||
### Line spacing
|
||||
|
||||
Increasing the line-spacing a bit will make tap targets larger and improve comprehension by readers with cognitive disabilities. A WCAG AAA Success Criterion is to allow 1.5 space units between lines.
|
||||
|
||||
> Line spacing (leading) is at least space-and-a-half within paragraphs, and paragraph spacing is at least 1.5 times larger than the line spacing.

There's an ideal range somewhere between "cramped" and "spaced-apart" content. Finding this range is difficult. The best way to resolve such difficult and subjective issues is to ask your readers for feedback, giving disproportionate weight to readers with under-represented needs (especially disabled readers).
|
||||
|
||||
### Non-interactive space
|
||||
|
||||
Excessive indentation can [make reading difficult](#indented-elements) for narrow viewports, but preserving some indentation is still useful.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, I've decided to keep the indents on list elements (`<ol>`, `<dl>`, `<ul>`) since I often fill them with links (see this article's [table of contents](#toc) for an example). This indentation provides important non-interactive negative space. Readers with hand tremors [depend on this space](https://axesslab.com/hand-tremors/) to scroll without accidentally selecting an interactive element. Readers who double-tap to jump or zoom can't do so if there's no screen region that's "safe to tap".

||||
Having clearly distinguished links also helps users decide safe places to tap the screen. See the [section on link underlines](#in-defense-of-link-underlines) for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tap targets
|
||||
|
||||
Tap targets should be at least 44 pixels tall and wide [according to the WCAG](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#target-size-enhanced), large enough to easily tap on a touch­screen. The WCAG makes an exception for inline targets, like links in a paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
Google has far more aggressive recommendations: it recommends raising the limit 48 pixels regardless of whether tap targets are inline, going so far as to make tap target size a ranking factor in search.
|
||||
|
||||
On lists without visible bullets, I dropped the default indentation. I had to find other ways to ensure adequate tap-target size _and_ provide sufficient space for readers with hand-tremors to scroll. Some examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- The [webmention list](#webmentions) below this article separates links with timestamps and some paragraph spacing.
|
||||
- The [homepage posts list](https://seirdy.one/#posts) and the list of related articles at the top of [one of my posts](https://seirdy.one/2022/02/02/floss-security.html) separates links with descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
### Line spacing
|
||||
|
||||
Increasing the line-spacing a bit will make tap targets larger and improve comprehension by readers with cognitive disabilities. A WCAG AAA Success Criterion is to allow 1.5 space units between lines.
|
||||
|
||||
<figure itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Quotation">
|

<blockquote>
|
||||
<p>Line spacing (leading) is at least space-and-a-half within paragraphs, and paragraph spacing is at least 1.5 times larger than the line spacing.</p>

The <abbr title="Web Accessibility Initiative">WAI</abbr>'s Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force [recommends changing this Success Criterion's level](https://w3c.github.io/coga/extension/#changedlevels), finding it too important to be relegated to AAA status.
