(Yes / No )

1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A)

Partially supports

PubPub provides text alternatives for non-text content, with a minor exception for some SVG content, which is hidden from assistive technologies.

1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) (Level A)

Not applicable

PubPub does not contain pre-recorded audio or video content.

1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) (Level A)

Not applicable

PubPub does not contain pre-recorded audio content.

1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) (Level A)

Not applicable

PubPub does not contain pre-recorded video content.

1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A)

Partially supports

PubPub exposes most semantic relationships between elements, with some exceptions:

• The top right user navigation is not semantically identified as navigation.

• In the dashboard, the navigation menu is not semantically identified as navigation.

• On settings screens, some section titles are not identified semantically as headings.

• On dashboard pages, some page titles are not identified semantically as headings.

• On dashboard pages, some object titles are not identified semantically as headings.

1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Level A)

Supports

The correct reading sequence is meaningful throughout PubPub.

1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics  (Level A)

Supports

PubPub does not rely on sensory characteristics.

1.4.1 Use of Color (Level A)

Supports

PubPub does not rely on color alone to convey information.

1.4.2 Audio Control (Level A)

Supports

PubPub does not have audio content. Users can use PubPub to embed audio content in a PubPub-maintained player that includes audio control.

2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A)

Supports

PubPub is fully operable using the keyboard alone.

2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap (Level A)

Supports

PubPub does not include a keyboard trap.

2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts (Level A 2.1 only)

 Not applicable

PubPub does not implement single-key keyboard shortcuts.

2.2.1 Timing Adjustable (Level A)

Not applicable

PubPub does not have any content with a timeout.

2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide (Level A)

Not applicable

PubPub does not have content that blinks, scrolls, hides or updates regularly.

2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold (Level A)

Not applicable

PubPub does not have flashing content.

2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (Level A)

Supports

PubPub provides shortcut links that allow keyboard users to skip to sections of content.

2.4.2 Page Titled (Level A)

Supports

PubPub provides descriptive page titles.

2.4.3 Focus Order (Level A)

Partially supports

PubPub has a meaningful focus order, with the exception of:

• When drafting a pub, parts of the formatting toolbar are not focusable.

2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (Level A)

Supports

PubPub uses descriptive text in links (instead of vague phrases like link or here).

2.5.1 Pointer Gestures (Level A 2.1 only)

 Supports

All pointer interactions on PubPub can be performed with a single pointer.

2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation (Level A 2.1 only)

 Partially supports

With a few exceptions, all pointer interactions on PubPub are simple “clicks”. Some focus changes in the editor occur on keydown events.

2.5.3 Label in Name (Level A 2.1 only)

 Supports

Where PubPub uses <label> elements, their identifying content is visually exposed to the user.

2.5.4 Motion Actuation (Level A 2.1 only)

 Not applicable

PubPub does not have any functionality that requires user or device motion.

3.1.1 Language of Page (Level A)

Partially supports

PubPub specifies the user-interface language, but not document content language, in the lang property of the root <html> element.

3.2.1 On Focus (Level A)

Supports

PubPub user elements do not initiate a change of context when focused. (e.g. keyboard-navigable tabs are navigated with the arrow and Enter keys)

3.2.2 On Input (Level A)

Supports

PubPub user elements besides buttons and links do not initiate a change of context.

3.3.1 Error Identification (Level A)

Supports

Input forms on PubPub describe which, if any, input elements contain invalid input.

3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (Level A)

Supports

PubPub inputs and elements come with labels and instructions to help users understand what they are.

4.1.1 Parsing (Level A)

Supports

PubPub’s markup is generated by React, which guarantees the absense of duplicate attributes or malformed HTML. We use deterministic UUID generation to avoid ID collisions on the page.

4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A)

Partially supports

PubPub uses <label> elements and role attribute to identify UI elements; in most cases we defer this to native HTML elements or well-maintained UI helper libraries.

Most form elements can be programmatically controlled, with certain edge cases around the document editor itself (which has to be able to distinguish true user input from DOM operations performed by plugins like Google Translate or Grammarly).

1.2.4 Captions (Live) (Level AA)

Not applicable

PubPub does not host live audio or video.

1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) (Level AA)

Not applicable

PubPub does not contain pre-recorded video content.

1.3.4 Orientation (Level AA 2.1 only)

Partially supported

PubPub renders correctly and fully across most screen sizes and orientations. On some admin dashboard screens, vertical orientations can cause content to become cut off.

1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose (Level AA 2.1 only)

Partially supported

With some exceptions for complex inputs like color pickers and Pub theme selectors, inputs on PubPub identify their purpose either via the use of HTML input field types or aria-label text.
