Reading further down your email than I did before Ken, this solution
would work, if the tag subject were included in the first anchor in a
list of tags for that subject.
Hi Mike,
Sorry to have taken several days to reply. Life got in the way a little.
I've been fairly brutal with removing previous stuff in the email thread
too, but I hope I can address them nevertheless.
I take your point about the multiple 'here' links, but I hadn't quite
realised how unpleasant my list of show numbers after each tag was to a
screen reader user.
I did battle with Orca for an hour or two and began to get the idea.
So, since Wednesday I managed to regenerate the tags page with the
headings you suggested (in the message with the title "More about tag
a11y"). I also added 'aria-label' attributes to the <a> tags. At the
moment these contain stuff like "Tag kafka: show 3639". I found that
Orca would read these, but I have no idea if other screen readers would.
I also seriously doubt that the current content is useful. However, it
may be a thing to consider.
The other disadvantage of this is that Orca says the show number twice,
once for 'aria-label' and again for the hyperlink itself. So maybe just
having the tag in this label would be enough.
I will generate a new page (with a different name) which contains links
on separate lines with the show number and title, and perhaps the
associated tag. This will be very long and some tags will have many
entries; I see the tag 'linux' has 264 entries for example! Worth a try
though.
I will look at your alternative suggestions as well. Ken's suggestion is
also worth testing out.
Dave
