> Abstract:
>
> Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 covers a wide range of
> recommendations for making Web content more accessible. Following these
> guidelines will make content more accessible to a wider range of people
> with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and
> hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity,
> and combinations of these, and some accommodation for learning
> disabilities and cognitive limitations; but will not address every user
> need for people with these disabilities. These guidelines address
> accessibility of web content on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile
> devices. Following these guidelines will also often make Web content
> more usable to users in general.
>
> WCAG 2.1 success criteria are written as testable statements that are
> not technology-specific. Guidance about satisfying the success criteria
> in specific technologies, as well as general information about
> interpreting the success criteria, is provided in separate documents.
> See Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview for an
> introduction and links to WCAG technical and educational material.
>
> WCAG 2.1 extends Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 [WCAG20],
> which was published as a W3C Recommendation December 2008. Content that
> conforms to WCAG 2.1 also conforms to WCAG 2.0, and therefore to
> policies that reference WCAG 2.0.
>
> Until WCAG 2.1 advances to W3C Recommendation, the current and
> referenceable document is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0
> [WCAG20], published as a W3C Recommendation December 2008.

> This is a Proposed Recommendation of WCAG 2.1 by the Accessibility
> Guidelines Working Group. WCAG 2.1 was published as a Candidate
> Recommendation on 30 January 2018. Since then the Working Group has

> manner that does not impact conformance. A history of changes to WCAG

> Advisory Committee Representatives should consult their WBS

>
> Please see the Working Group's implementation report.
