Sorry for the long post, but it does all belong together ... I hope it does not exceed any post limits, if any ;=)) In fact I decided to drop it onto my web site instead, since I could also add some other pieces I want to keep ... and they really added to the size ... The longer term goal would be to have Tidy 'pass' all the accessibility test suite, but the first part of this is understanding the access test suite as it presently stands in the CVS source ... I have compared the CVS accessibility suite, in the test/accessTest folder, with those on the site - http://www.aprompt.ca/Tidy/accessibilitychecks.html and find a considerable number of (relatively small) differences, which I would like to correct. But first, some questions ... on my web site - http://www.geoffmclane.com/tidy/access01.htm In general, I would say the code changes to get it all working are relatively minor, and in no way effects tidy parsing or html/xml output ... and are ONLY done if requested from the command line and compiled with SUPPORT_ACCESSIBILITY_CHECKS ... I would also check that this can be 'turned off', and Tidy still compile cleanly ... Maybe others are already working on fuller support for WCAG 2.0 ... Looking forward to further feedback ...
