Style changes to normative documents made to ensure consistency as part of the republishing of WCAG 2.2

  • Ensures all normative occurrences of "web page" are two words and lower case.
  • Ensures all normative occurrences of "website" are a single word, not capitalized.
  • Ensures all normative occurrences of "success criterion/criteria" that do not specify SCs by name, are lower case
  • Ensures all normative occurrences of "web content" and other uses of "web" are lower case

Preview | Diff

Only occurrence specifically referring to an SC by name should be upper case, as per style guide
match W3C styling

@shawna-slh if you have time to eyeball this and confirm I haven't unintentionally altered something that should remain capitalized (i.e., the start of a sentence), I would welcome.

@mbgower I found a few case typos. Comments inline. If I were more confident, I would just make the edits.

<p><strong>Guidelines</strong> - Under the principles are guidelines. The 13 guidelines provide the basic goals that authors should work toward in order to make content more accessible to users with different disabilities. The guidelines are not testable, but provide the framework and overall objectives to help authors understand the success criteria and better implement the techniques.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Success Criteria</strong> - For each guideline, testable success criteria are provided to allow WCAG 2.2 to be used where requirements and conformance testing are necessary such as in design specification, purchasing, regulation, and contractual agreements. In order to meet the needs of different groups and different situations, three levels of conformance are defined: A (lowest), AA, and AAA (highest). Additional information on WCAG levels can be found in <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/conformance#levels">Understanding Levels of Conformance</a>.</p>

Success criteria should use title case since paragraph does that:

...other Success criteria

I am not sure if both words should be capitalized, but one of the two is wrong.

<p><strong>Sufficient and Advisory Techniques</strong> - For each of the <em>guidelines</em> and <em>success criteria</em> in the WCAG 2.2 document itself, the working group has also documented a wide variety of <em>techniques</em>. The techniques are informative and fall into two categories: those that are <em>sufficient</em> for meeting the success criteria and those that are <em>advisory</em>. The advisory techniques go beyond what is required by the individual success criteria and allow authors to better address the guidelines. Some advisory techniques address accessibility barriers that are not covered by the testable success criteria. Where common failures are known, these are also documented.

lgtm outside of the question about title casing the list items - i'm personally fine with whatever the resolution to that ends up being.

Discussed on TF call, with consensus on changes. @mbgower is going to check with @shawna-slh on use of title case with Layers of Guidance section.

Discussed on backlog call 10/4, reverting to keeping title case for first word(s) following bullets of Layers of Guidance.
