- Don't auto-minify HTML but minify other resources, inc. the RSS feed
- Manually optimize whitespace a little to balance readability and
compressed size
- 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.
- microdata for CompleteDataFeed on /posts.html instead of DataFeed
- make the home link <strong> when it's the current page, just like the
other navlinks.
- 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.
Add headings and re-order the items in the article footers to improve
heading-based navigation. Now all sections should have a landmark
recognized by most AT, or a heading.
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.
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.
All pages except bookmarks can now fit on your smartwatch without any
adjustments, so we can disable the auto-zoom-out-to-match-mobile
wizardry that watch browsers do (comparable to the
zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).
Yay.
- 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
- 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
- Spelling
- Drop more unused classes
Putting the heading in the navigation element makes the structure more
logical and matches the behavior of most other websites.
Move it before the introduction in my web best practices post.
- Replace hashes in code snippets with variables for screen-readability
- Use hyphens where valid instead of combined words for screen reader
pronunciation
- Typo
- Add WIP section on screen reader support tips not already covered.
