Yes, we just need to have a filter a little bit more advanced than
"hidden=false". We could imagine a white list of xclasses (which would
have priority over "hidden=false" filter).

Now for the specific panels use case we actually have a place where
they are all displayed and validated all at once: the administration.

Validating DOM generated in javascript is indeed a problem we already
have. Now for the few cases which are actually wiki pages included
asynchronously and which don't fit in a generic xclass based filter we
could add them trough the existing URL list property.

About async panels, most of them are also cached which means they are
really asyn only when loading the first page (when the framework find
a cached content is return it instead of putting an async
placeholder).

I agree. The issue is that we can have hidden pages that:

* are not displayed by default (I'm thinking panels)
* are included / displayed dynamically with JavaScript so they won't appear
in the HTML downloaded by our WCAG tests (I'm thinking of async panels and
modals for instance)

So they won't be covered.

Hi everyone,

one of the most validation error we have with WCAG is about consecutive
line breaks: basically a  presents in a page.

This happens mostly in our translation pages since the linebreaks in
plain syntax are translated in  tags.
Caty provided a lot of details about this error on the related issue:
https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15666.

Currently we have around 140 validations failure because of this.

Different proposal have been made in order to fix it, that I will try to
sum-up here:

   A. Remove completely this validation check


-0, I think the validation can be useful at least to keep good practices.


   B. Add an exception for the translation pages


+1, simplest one.


Note that the question is not so much about being simple (we can just remove 
WCAG for that and it’s the simplest ;)) but about being the right thing to do 
for people with disabilities.

For me we have the following options:

A) We don’t think that this check is useful, ie that it brings advantages for 
people with disabilities and then we can remove it. No need to add exceptions.

B) We think the check is useful for people with disabilities and we should keep 
it, even for translations pages since I don’t see why people with disabilities 
shouldn’t be able to use translation pages. There are some ideas to fix this: I 
listed some in the jira issue and Thomas mentioned one too (it’s option D).




C) Now I’m fine if we say the following: for technical reasons it’s already 
hard to ensure that we pass WCAG for user pages and thus FTM we focus only on 
those ones and we agree that we don’t pass WCAG for developer-oriented 
features, with the goal of improving on that aspect in the future. And thus we 
disable WCAG checks on technical pages (hidden pages) for now.


Excluding hidden page for now is indeed something that would make a
lot of sense.



+1 for that


Thanks

   C. Triggers the error only if more than 2 consecutive breaks is
encountered


-1, it doesn't really makes sense to do that, it's like B. but badly done.


   D. Create a rendering syntax dedicated to translation pages


+1, could be a good idea but might be complicated.




A. Remove completely the validation check

pros:
   * the easiest one
   * apparently the rule is not checked in other accessibility test, so
its real purpose for accessibility is unclear

cons:
   * IMO this rule is useful for checking the good practice of not using


B. Add an exception for the translation pages

pros:
   * same as for A

cons:
   * ?

C. Triggers the error only if more than 2 consecutive breaks is encountered

pros:
   * ?

cons:
   * we would miss some consecutive  that are used only for style
and we would catch some others in translations if we do 3 linebreaks
instead of 2. IMO it's only moving the problem

D. Create a rendering syntax dedicated to translation pages

pros:
   * remove completely the problem of consecutive  in translations
   * can maybe be used to present them in another way?

cons:
   * need to develop/test/maintain a new rendering syntax

-0, I think the validation can be useful at least to keep good practices.

+1, simplest one.

-1, it doesn't really makes sense to do that, it's like B. but badly done.

>D. Create a rendering syntax dedicated to translation pages

+1, could be a good idea but might be complicated.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] WCAG exception: consecutive line breaks

2018-11-21 Thread Simon Urli

Hi everyone,

one of the most validation error we have with WCAG is about consecutive 
line breaks: basically a  presents in a page.


This happens mostly in our translation pages since the linebreaks in 
plain syntax are translated in  tags.
Caty provided a lot of details about this error on the related issue: 
https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15666.


Currently we have around 140 validations failure because of this.

Different proposal have been made in order to fix it, that I will try to 
sum-up here:


  A. Remove completely this validation check
  B. Add an exception for the translation pages
  C. Triggers the error only if more than 2 consecutive breaks is 
encountered

  D. Create a rendering syntax dedicated to translation pages


A. Remove completely the validation check

pros:
  * the easiest one
  * apparently the rule is not checked in other accessibility test, so 
its real purpose for accessibility is unclear


cons:
  * IMO this rule is useful for checking the good practice of not using 



B. Add an exception for the translation pages

pros:
  * same as for A

cons:
  * ?

C. Triggers the error only if more than 2 consecutive breaks is encountered

pros:
  * ?

cons:
  * we would miss some consecutive  that are used only for style 
and we would catch some others in translations if we do 3 linebreaks 
instead of 2. IMO it's only moving the problem


D. Create a rendering syntax dedicated to translation pages

pros:
  * remove completely the problem of consecutive  in translations
  * can maybe be used to present them in another way?

cons:
  * need to develop/test/maintain a new rendering syntax

I'd personnaly vote like this:
A: +0
B: +1
C: -1
D: +0

WDYT?

Simon
