Description
Feature Request
In French-speaking countries, for accessibility audit we use the RGAA accessibility guidelines.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the criteria 5.3, we test if each layout table (<table> only used to display information in cells) has an attribute role="presentation" to success.
This test failed :
- if the table doesn't have the role="presentation"
- if the table has a caption (
<caption>tags) - if the table has headings (
<th>tags)
In some of our website, redactors use table to diplay content in column. For those websites, in the Accessibility Audit, we get a fail due to the missing role attribute.
Describe the solution you'd like
The simplest solution will be to automatically add the role="presentation" attribute to the <table> element when the user choose the "None" option in the Header selector.
On top of that a layout table shouldn't contain any <caption> tag, so it will be nice to disable this field when "None" is selected in the Header selector.
Are there alternatives?
We can also add a checkbox in the table tool to switch between data-table and layout-table.
