Sorry, something went wrong.
The current use of color only to differentiate links fails WCAG A accessibility standards. Possible solutions are: 1. Using a text indicator to show that the text is a link. 2. Using additional cues (such as underlining). 3. Providing color contrast of 3:1 or greater with surrounding text (not the background--the adjacent text!) along with visual cues on hover. The solution here implements the second option.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This seems such a trivial enough change, that it definitely brings more benefits as outlined by Rich, even tho these API docs are due to a redeisgn.
Thanks for the effort of making this change and bringing relevant docs, Rich!

We may want to revise this later to improve the aesthetics, but I think it's better to make it accessible first and then figure out how to make it look better. In a lot of cases, adding the underlining looks just fine:
But it can be a bit much when everything is a link:
(Or maybe all that underlining is fine. I don't know.) |
