Checkpoint 1.12 - Wikis

The wiki is understandable when rendered as text-only

WCAG Guideline 6. Ensure that pages featuring new technologies transform gracefully.

Reading accessibility of a wiki by assistive technologies such as screen readers can be simulated visually by displaying the blog using a text-only rendering tool. This will show if the content is available in a logical order and that content in tables is understandable in its context.

Requirement

View the wiki using a text-only rendering tool.
