Why real-time expense visibility matters more than you think

A man sitting on the ground working on a laptop with others around him doing the same.

This is an editable region -- click in to see the TinyMCE interface appear. Add and delete content, create and fix issues. The easiest way to get a new tip to appear is to TYPE A SENTENCE IN CAPS LOCK.

Headings

Empty headings

This heading has no text:

 

Skipped heading levels

This H6 should have been an H3

Suspiciously long headings

A very long heading. Headings should not be used for emphasis, but rather for a document outline, so if you find yourself talking this much, this probably is being used for visual formatting, not a heading.

Suspiciously short blockquotes that maybe should be headings

Not a blockquote

Suspicious paragraphs that look like headings

This looks suspiciously like a heading

Note that this test only flags an all-bold paragraph that has no punctuation at all,

so this paragraph will not be flagged as a false positive.

Text alternatives

Image marked as decorative with an empty alt

This might be OK; flagged as needing manual review.

Image with an invalid alt attribute

E.g., alt="'"

Image with a filename as an alt

Image with redundant text in its alt

E.g., “image of.”

Image with very long alt text

Meaningful Links

Links with no text at all

 

Links titled with a URL

https://editoria11y.princeton.edu

Links only titled with generic text

“Click here,” “learn more,” “download,” etc.

Click here

Links that open in a new window without an external link icon or text warning

An informative video.

Links to a documents

Note that you can set what Editoria11y should look for in your preferences file. By default it checks for PDF and DOC files.

A fake PDF link.

Tables

Tables without valid headers

A table without a TH header is invalid And no, an “H3” does not count.

Empty table header cells

Empty table heading cells will also be flagged:  

Legibility

Lists

a. Fake lists

b. use letters or numbers.

c. rather than real formatting.

Caps lock

SEVERAL WORDS IN A ROW OF CAPS LOCK TEXT WILL TRIGGER A MANUAL CHECK WARNING.
