Editoria11y
Editoria11y (“editorial accessibility”) is a user-friendly
checker that addresses three critical needs for content authors
It runs automatically. Modern spellcheck works so well because
it is always running; put spellcheck behind a button and few users
remember to run it! It runs in context. Views, Layout Builder,
Media and all the other modules Drupal uses to assemble a complex
page means checkers that run on individual fields cannot “see”
errors that appear on render. It focuses exclusively on content
issues: things page editors can easily understand and easily fix.
Editoria11y is meant to supplement, not replace, testing with
comprehensive tools and real assistive devices.
