2.3 Demo

This page simulates what an author would experience while editing content. It includes an editable container, running TinyMCE.

Editoria11y can also act as a live accessibility checker for CKEditor5 and Gutenberg, and the Drupal and WordPress plugins enable this by default.

Things to try on this page:

  • Explore the tips, either by manually toggling the tooltips below, or by using the “Next” button on the control panel.
  • Try marking a manual check as “OK” or “Hidden,” then restoring it from the control panel.
  • Test the visualizer button on the panel to explore the document outline and alt text.

This is an editable region -- click in to see the TinyMCE interface appear. Add and delete content, create and fix issues. The easiest way to get a new tip to appear is to TYPE A SENTENCE IN CAPS LOCK.

Headings

Empty headings

This heading has no text:

Skipped heading levels

This H6 should have been an H3

Suspiciously long headings

A very long heading. Headings should not be used for emphasis, but rather for a document outline, so if you find yourself talking this much, this probably is being used for visual formatting, not a heading.

Suspiciously short blockquotes that maybe should be headings

Not a blockquote

Suspicious paragraphs that look like headings

This looks suspiciously like a heading

Note that this test only flags an all-bold paragraph that has no punctuation at all,

so this paragraph will not be flagged as a false positive.

Text alternatives

Image marked as decorative with an empty alt

This might be OK; flagged as needing manual review.

Image with an invalid alt attribute

E.g., alt="'"

'

Image with a filename as an alt

https://editoria11y.princeton.edu/example.jpg

Image with redundant text in its alt

E.g., “image of.”

Image of an under construction graphic

Image with very long alt text

A construction worker is holding a sign that says "under construction." The sign has yellow and black strips and a small blinking orange light. It looks like a website from the nineties.

Embeds

Flagged as manual check needed for captioning:

Also flagged: embedded audio and social media.

Links with no text at all

https://editoria11y.princeton.edu

Links only titled with generic text

“Click here,” “learn more,” “download,” etc.

Click here

Links that open in a new window without an external link icon or text warning

An informative video.

Note that you can set what Editoria11y should look for in your preferences file. By default it checks for PDF and DOC files.

A fake PDF link.

Tables

Tables without valid headers

A table without a TH header is invalidAnd no, an “H3” does not count.

Empty table header cells

Empty table heading cells will also be flagged: 

Legibility

Lists

a. Fake lists

b. use letters or numbers.

c. rather than real formatting.

Caps lock

SEVERAL WORDS IN A ROW OF CAPS LOCK TEXT WILL TRIGGER A MANUAL CHECK WARNING.
