Re: Techniques for WCAG 2.0: T3: Using standard text formatting conventions for headings (TXT)

Loretta, if I understand this correctly, this is a technique to assist
screen reader users. If that is true, there is no mention of the supporting
assistive technology applicable to this technique. We should also state, if
possible, where and how to obtain these scripts.

There is a good chance that a user may question the applicability of screen
magnification software to decipher headings in plain text documents using
formatting conventions.

On a sidebar, does this technique satisfy SC 1.3.1 on the basis that only a
screen reader user can understand the underlying structure of the document?


Proposed Change: In the ‘Applicability’ section, add a sentence something
like –
“Only applicable to screen readers.”

Thanks,
