Re: Allowing for Reflow: new technique and more implementations

Hi Alastair,

Yes. The ledes are on the second level pages that the homepage links
to. But they are missing on the homepage when zoomed to 400% at 1280.

The purpose of a lede is to summarize the most important aspects of
the story. It's the best chance to grab a reader's attention and
interest and get them to keep reading or click through to the rest of
the article.

People with low vision zoomed in at 400% will have loss of information
and not an equitable experience (no summary of the most important
aspects of the story).

Kindest Regards,
Laura
