Re: ATAG testing

Hi Sean,

I may have spoke too soon on TinyMCE 4. It's been a while since I've 
taken a close look at it. Here's some more on V4.0+ accessibility.

https://www.tinymce.com/docs/advanced/accessibility/

With NVDA and Edge there is resonably good access to the TinyMCE UI, 
though there's room for improvement.  Could not make it work with  my 
recently upgraded to JAWS 18, though it does not seem to read web 
content at all using it on a Windows 10 VM from a MAC. I'm guessing I'm 
missing a setting somewhere.  (help, if anyone knows why this might be)

There is also an addon accessibility checker for the subscription (paid) 
version of TinyMCE. It's a shame they've chosen to make accessibility a 
paid feature (though only $.40 per user per month).

https://www.tinymce.com/docs/plugins/a11ychecker/

 From what I can tell, there are no prompts to warn authors about 
missing alt text, for instance, which were present in earlier version of 
the editor.

Bottom line, I think, TinyMCE 4 would not be compliant, but would not be 
far off. With a little trouble, I was able to create content in 
Wordpress while using NVDA/Edge. And it is possible to create accessible 
content, but without prompts, so only if you know what you're doing.
