Modern web developers don't use semantic HTML for screen reader support. They manually apply screen reader interpretation data the same way they manually apply Tailwind styles to every element. (That's what WAI-ARIA is for, most notably the "role" attribute.)
- eurasiantiger 4y agoMost of the new HTML5 elements (main, aside, article, section, nav…) have an implicit ARIA role, no need to add one manually.
- csande17 4y agoA lot of the old ones do too, but elements not named <div> are an elitist conspiracy to prevent people from becoming web developers.
