RE: Brief summary of text resizing and reflow success criteria

Hi Wayne and Shawn, If this is for 2.1 then reflow would definitely fit into this as well.  The primary purpose of SC 1.4.10 is not for mobile but for low vision users to be able to zoom in to 400% from a standard resolution and still have a page that is readable without scrolling.    So in other words – to facilitate reflow of text at smaller viewports including those made smaller by using browser zoom.

Dear Shawn
Is this for 2.0. It seems to miss the reflow criterion. Reflow is not for spacing.
I think the 200% should apply to any browser that provides zoom.

Best, Wayne

Dear LVTF folks,

The Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) page "Accessibility Principles" briefly introduces the concepts behind accessibility and WAI's standards. It includes a section on "Content can be presented in different ways" and "Content is easier to see and hear".

I welcome your input on these two points in the draft update:
* Text is resizable up to 200% without losing information, using a standard browser;
* Text spacing can be adjusted without losing information, and reflows on small screens;

To see it in context:
