Hi everyone, I’m hoping you can lend your expertise with a heading structure/alternative question. We currently have a press release template that includes a box to read the full text article. At the moment, this is an H3 and we were going to change it to an H2. However, our development team is concerned this is not semantically correct if the box is within the article itself and not at the end. Example URL: https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2020/08/experiencing-childhood-trauma Is there an HTML5 tag or specific way we should code the box or heading so that those using assistive technology like screen readers will be able to discern that there is a full text article available for the press release? I’m sure we’ll have other situations like this as we continue to work on improving the accessibility of our sites, so will apply what we learn moving forward to similar situations. Thank you so much for any guidance you can provide! -amy __________________________________________________________ Amy Pearson | Manager, UX Optimization and Compliance Digital Strategy & Services, Communications American Psychological Association 750 First Street NE, Washington DC 20002 apearson@apa.org<mailto:apearson@apa.org> All APA staff are teleworking until further notice and are experiencing a high volume of inquiries related to COVID-19.
