Hi all,
I'm working on usability and accessibility for a project that uses
Markdown. When I tried out a screenreader on the automatic e-mail links, I
noticed that there's nothing there semantically due to obfuscation. I
think that obfuscation in this way is a neat feature, I hadn't heard about
it before. This would be even better if there was a way to both obfuscate
e-mail addresses and provide title text, such as <a href="obfuscated
mailto:
e-mail link" title="stuff screen readers read and what shows when you
hover
over the link">link text</link>.
It'd be cool, too, if screen readers learned how to read obfuscated words,
but the day that happens, all the spam bots will, too. ;-)
Anyway, this is pretty minor, just wanted to contribute what I noticed about
accessibility for food for thought and say hello. I'll write again if I
notice anything else during my accessibility evaluation.
Thanks,
Liz Blankenship
