In the docs generated via `make html`:
- The permalinks are not focusable
- This is because they are hidden via `visibility:hidden`, and hidden
elements are not focusable.
This provides a bad experience for people using the keyboard to navigate
through the document.
The version of the docs generated for `djangoproject.com` is slightly
better:
- It uses `opacity:0` to hide them.
- This means they are focusable.
- Currently they are still not visible when focused though.
This provides a confusing experience for sighted users who prefer keyboard
navigation for accessability (or other) reasons. It means that when you
'tab through' the page, the focus seems to 'disappear' before re-appearing
some number of tabs later.
I propose we update the CSS in both locations to provide focusable
permalinks that are also visible whilst focused.
(I appologise if this is not the correct place to raise issues about
djangoproject.com - I wasn't sure. But since it relates to the docs
anyway, I figured there would be no harm in doing so.)
