Accessibility in WYSIWYG editors

Time: Thursday 21st March 15:00-15:30
Room: Corinthian
Track: User Experience & Content

WYSIWYG (short for What You See IS What You Get) editors are the backbone of the open source content management systems. While Drupal is powered by CKEditor 5, WordPress is using a community edition of Tiny editor. Both editors are survivors of what used to be a flourishing frontend industry of content editor tools.

I would like to share the accessibility insights I discovered while teaching content editors to use both editors. The session will include a practical demonstration on how two of the world's most popular WYSIWYG editors can be even better and how we can help.
