Authoring Tool Accessibility: Techniques Working Draft

   The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has
   published a Working Draft of "Implementation Techniques for
   Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 2.0." These techniques,
   sample strategies and resources are an aid for developers who wish
   to satisfy the checkpoints in "Authoring Tool Accessibility
   Guidelines 2.0" (ATAG). ATAG helps developers design tools and
   authoring interfaces that are accessible to users including those
   with disabilities, and that produce accessible Web content.
   Resulting content can be read by a broader range of readers. Learn
