It's mobile-friendly as-is. I made sure that tap-targets were even
bigger and more spaced-apart, just to be safe.
Hide unnecessary nav-links in print mode.
- Better print stylesheet, now with a file dedicated just for print
style improvements.
- Hide extra stuff in print.
- Bring back navbar for print because it also tells users the current
section and the site name.
- Dark theme: make superscripts bold instead of using a higher-contrast
color.
- Goldmark 1.4.12 switches footnotes from a <section> to a <div>; update
regexes and stylesheet to account for this.
- Goldmark 1.4.12 allows multiple footnotes with the same reference; use
that.
- Clean up templates for unminified output. Also delete an unused class.
- Switch to unminified output by default.
Existing link colors made it hard to distinguish between visited and
unvisted links on screens that had warmer color temperatures. Adjusted
the colors to make the distinction clear.
Unfortunately, that adjustment made superscript visited links (for
footnotes) fail the APCA, so I added a solid black background to
superscripts. Now they too should have good contrast.
- I felt dark-mode links were still a bit harsh, so I lightened them.
- Improved perceptual contrast of the purple visited links by making the
background color slightly less blue.
- On widescreen, make footer links inline. They happen to be about the
same width as the global nav, which makes this work well.
WCAG recommends telling visitors about their current place in a site's
hierarchy. All pages are exactly zero or one level below a section, so
simply emphasizing a member of the navigation links should be
sufficient.
- Use borders instead of <hr>
- Distinguish <kbd> from <code> and body text with boldness
- Improve dark contrast and make dark visited links look distinct from
regular text
- Improve focus indicators
- Fix print directive i accidentally deleted
- Switch from inline-start to "left" since old browsers prolly outnumber
the number of poeple using Eng-Arabic machine translation engines that
also alter the text direction.
- Even less halation for dark theme
- More contrast for borders
- Slightly larger font, fixes APCA contrast issue for <small>
- Make responsive navbar work in NetSurf
- Make aria-current page bold
- Use content-visibility to unload footers and endnotes
- Add aria-labels to unclear webring link text
- Replace <hr> elements with css borders; the semantic meaning of <hr>
was unnecessary with section breaks.
Use -inline-start instead of -left for machine translators that change
direction. Wrap that in a feature query so browsers that don't support
these rules can fall back to default styling. Those browsers are desktop
browsers anyway, where this doesn't relaly make a huge difference.
Add reduced-contrast for dark mode, for readers with severe astigmatism.
Reduced-contrast is the same as regular dark mode, except that the
background is lighter.
Somehow fit all of this in <1kb, any bigger and I'll have to stop
inlining.
Pulls content exported from Buku, so I don't have to commit every time I
add a bookmark.
Since I added another nav item, I had to adjust the navbar css.
WCAG AAA guidelines encourage limiting text to 80 chars. Unlike A and
AA, the AAA level is more of a list of suggestions than a requirement.
Most other studies seem to indicate 70 is a good minimum but 100 is a
bit excessive.
"ch" units are broken on NetSurf, so I went with the closest "em"
approximation (since I already use "em" everywhere else).
All pages should now look good on screens 230px wide (DPR=1), inc. most
feature-phones running e.g. KaiOS.
Add borders to images so they look distinct from the surrounding page.
This requires making <nav> *not* display inline except for the
unstyled-list navlinks. This should also do a better job at appeasing
reader modes.
For the same reason, also make one link a citation
- Remove reference to unused syntax.css
- Stop Apple's magic phone-number-linkification. If I need to link a
telephone number I'll use a tel: URI, thank you very much.
The newish APCA contrast algorithm correctly reveals that blue-on-black
and purple-on-black links have lower perceptual contrast than
yellow-on-black links.
A Fediverse survey with 19 participants revealed that others tend to
prefer the older look over this one, but the number in favor was much
larger than I thought; it was a 3:2 split. I decided that on my poor
laptop screen facing sunlight with simulated color vision deficiencies,
the yellow links are indeed easier to read so I went with them.
Statically grab and include webmentions during Hugo builds, no JS
involved. Hugo supports making web requests and parsing the resulting
JSON, so there was no need to use an external program either.
