The previous version of this document can be seen [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/index.php?title=Accessibility_notes&oldid=49247 in the history]
Cascading style sheet (CSS) classes to remove default list-styles from HTML lists.
Class <code>inline-list</code> also makes a list horizontal (at present only in side blocks).
 
Difficulty: '''easy''' I hope. Please use!<br />
Available: ? Moodle 1.8 December 2006 (MDL-6838, nested lists are safe).<br />
Definition: <code>theme/standard/styles_layout.css</code>
.unlist, .inline-list {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}
.sideblock .content .inline-list li {
  display: inline;
}
 
Use Count: 5+ (12 including deprecated <code>list</code>)<br />
Example: <code>blocks/../block_blog_tags.php</code>
<nowiki><ul class="inline-list">
  <li><a .. class=" s20">Accessibility</a></li>
  <li><a .. class=" s10">Test</a></li>
</ul></nowiki>
 
 
== Code pattern 2: accesshide ==
CSS class for text 'seen' by screen readers but not visual users.
 
Difficulty: '''tricky''' &ndash; mirror text in <code>title</code>.<br />
Available: Moodle 1.6 March 2006 (30-May-06: MDL-5628 IE6 Farsi RTL language)<br />
Definition: <code>theme/standard/styles_layout.css</code>

  <a onmouseover="return overlib(.. 'Today Friday, 27 April')" ..>27</a>
</td>
<td class="weekend day">28</td>
...</nowiki>
 
 
== Code pattern 3: THEME->rarrow, larrow ==
 
PHP variables holding 'silent' representations of right and left arrows (example ►), to avoid misuse of characters including "greater than" >, "right angle quote" ». The variables are initialised by the function weblib.php: check_theme_arrows, unless they have first been defined in the theme config.php.
 
* Difficulty: medium. Careful with fonts.<br />
* Available: Moodle 1.7
* Associated CSS in theme/standard/styles_fonts.css
 
.breadcrumb .sep, ... {
  font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Courier,'Arial Unicode MS', ...;
