How do screenreaders read headers in Rise?
Phil, you are correct the 'paragraph with heading' block produces an H2, and the subheading block is an H3. The H1 exists in two places- on the cover page (course title) and then each lesson title is also h1.
Glad to see others trying to address some of the Accessibility concerns we are seeing in our audits. I understand from the above that Rise really only has H1 (lesson titles) and then H2 and 3. For design purposes we commonly use Statements as well. PhillFoss do you know how statements translate to navigation from a headers/accessibility perspective? Is there a way that those can be used as headers as well? or do we have to use Headers/Subheaders in addition to the statements (which kinda defeats the purpose maybe)
I know you're asking me, but why do you want a statement marked a header? I'm thinking of statements as full sentences.
By default the Statement blocks use regular paragraphs so if using a screen reader it has no prominence over regular paragraph text. But you can change these paragraphs to h2-h5 elements inside the Statement blocks.
edit- adding screenshot of this, bottom left of the text dialog. This is a somewhat newish feature in Rise- change from paragraph to headings here KellyRipley
This sounds amazing! I have looked within the Edit, Style and Format menus of the statement blocks and do not see the option you are describing. Can you provide more guidance?
The menu he's referring to appears after you highlight the text on the lesson page.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
