Ask HN: Are inline links or a reference section better for accessibility?
For those who are visually impaired, it seems like inline links (especially long ones) could create a lot of noise. Is it better to put them at the end of an article/page and use some sort of reference system. Is there a standard way of doing that?
- a3n 7y agoI prefer inline. References at the end break my concentration. You're not writing academic papers so you're free to do what makes sense for you.
- anderspitman 7y agoAre you using plain text/screen reader, or rendered content?
- a3n 7y agoRendered. But if I'm writing/reading my own RestructuredText, I just put the link in a line of their own within the paragraph. I generally write a sentence per line in rst, and break lines on commas. It's good for version control.
- jareds 7y agoI like the way Wikipedia does it. Inline links to go to a new page but in page links to represent footnotes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter
