- give code blocks their own figure numbers/names/ID
- Split figcaption into quotecaption and codecaption
- create codefigure partial to reduce markup for SoftwareSourceCode
figures
Create a for <figcaption> and a render hook for code snippets inside
figures, replacing some ugly and complex inline HTML in my markdown
sources.
The only visible change is slightly worse HTML alignment and programming
language indicators (with microdata).
This removed the need to use one of the regex replacements in the
processed_content.html shortcode, and increased the minimum required
Hugo version to 0.93.
Some old browser engines don't fully support hyphenation, so they need
some extra help. Now, the entire site should fit in a 150 CSS-pixel wide
viewport.
Clean up some link text too so the text alone is more useful.
- Shrink some excessive alt text
- Remove some redundant links
- Screenreaders that split elements up aren't just on touchscreens
- Mention ChromeVox in list of screen readers
- Move TOC higher in page

Putting the heading in the navigation element makes the structure more
logical and matches the behavior of most other websites.

re-arrangements, that section is no longer a "previous" section.
- Replace spatial terminology ("bottom") with sequential terminology
("end")
- Add note on font enumeration without the Font Access API
- Acknowledge testing in grayscale but emphasize that it isn't enough.
- Move defense of link underlines to just after the section on custom
colors, since it's more relevant to it.
- Add xkcd image into the page instead of just linking, since the linked
page content is an image that doesn't include a transcript or
descriptive alt-text.
- Trivial rephrasings
- Make sure that headings don't have the same name as any links, to
avoid creating links with similar names but different purposes
- Remove useless <aside> elements that wrap landmarks.
- Move TOC down a bit, after the intro.
- Elaborate on each image optimization tool

conditions like different screens, gamma adjustments, and color
blindnesses

- Lowercase a heading
Describe how to best include images and figures in a way that flows well
and is accessible to both sighted and non-sighted users.
Describe how sticky elements can be a usability hazard on short
viewports
- Add changefreq
- Clean up structured data for quotations
- Add more sample unorthodox tests
TODO: dark image variant of image in new "Beyond alt-text" section
Fediverse users gave good feedback, and I found other info elsewhere.
- Avoid the system-ui font
- Re-clarify article scope (textual websites)
- Mention dynamic content injection
- Describe saving pages offline
- Mention pictures of text versus narrow viewports
- Remove unnecessary info on why i removed margins from figures

Add a better screenshot showcasing bad custom colors. Also give it a
figcaption.
The figcaption meant that I had to revise a statement later down when I
said I don't use figcaptions for images.
These recommendations also included stuff for <figure> elements; in the
spirit of dogfooding, I used some <figure> elements where appropriate
elsewhere in the page.
- Describe how contrast overkill in dark mode can cause halation
- Add more info on compatibility with the Tor browser
- Mention the rationale for a custom image border color
- More accurately note how in addition to fontconfig mappings, I also
set my browser preferred font to "sans-serif".
- Clarify that underlines help identify both the beginnings and ends of
hyperlinks.
- Formatting/phrasing fixes, esp in Gemtext.
This should reduce a lot of repetition. Supports first/last names,
nicknames, generic names that don't conform to first/last norms, and
has basic support for affiliated organizations.
Also snuck in more info on website colors to the web best practices
article, inc. a link to Chris' Wiki.
- Add a cache-busting fingerprint to all the icons in the webmanifest
- Add a <meta> and open graph tag for a description.
- Include a 512px icon in the manifest
Reduce Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) by declaring original image
dimensions in HTML before re-scaling with CSS. This tells browsers the
image's aspect ratio before the image and the stylesheet load, allowing
browsers to block out space accordingly to avoid making elements "jump"
during loading.
