Text Styles, Resize, Reflow, and Zoom

Text Magnification

The page should remain functional and legible when text is magnified to 200% of its initial size, ensuring an accessible experience for users with visual impairments.

No Scrolling in Two Directions

Content must not require scrolling both vertically and horizontally, providing a seamless experience for users navigating the page.

Accessible Images

Images should not include informative text if an equivalent visual presentation can be rendered using real text. Exceptions are made for essential text, such as logos, or when customizable font, size, color, and background are necessary.

Text-Based Emphasis

Critical emphasis in the text should be conveyed using a text-based format, ensuring that the meaning is preserved for all users.

Supplementing Highlighted Text

Critical highlighted text should be supplemented with a text-based method to convey the meaning of the highlighting, making it accessible to users with various needs.
