Editing Drupal (section)

===Accessibility===
Since the release of Drupal 7, [[Web accessibility]] has been constantly improving in the Drupal community.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://drupal.org/about/accessibility | title=Accessibility statement | last=Killesreiter | first=Gerhard | work=drupal.org | date=25 February 2013 | access-date=16 April 2013}}</ref> Drupal is a good framework for building sites accessible to people with disabilities, because many of the best practices have been incorporated into Drupal Core.

Drupal 8 saw many improvements from the [[Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines]] (ATAG) 2.0 guidelines which support both an accessible authoring environment as well as support for authors to produce more accessible content.

The accessibility team is carrying on the work of identifying and resolving accessibility barriers and raising awareness within the community.

Drupal 8 has good semantic support for [[rich web applications]] through [[WAI-ARIA]]. There have been many improvements to both the visitor and administrator sides of Drupal, especially:
* Drag and drop functionality
* Improved color contrast and intensity
* Adding skip navigation to core themes
* Adding labels by default for input forms
* Fixing CSS display:none with consistent methods for hiding and exposing text on focus
* Adding support for ARIA Live Regions with Drupal.announce
* Adding a TabbingManager to support better keyboard navigation<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/accessibility/drupal-8-accessibility-features | title=Drupal 8 Accessibility Features | date=27 May 2013 }}</ref>

The community also added an accessibility gate for core issues in Drupal 8.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://drupal.org/core-gates#accessibility | title=Drupal core gates | last=Scholten | first=Roy | work=drupal.org | date=10 December 2012 | access-date=16 April 2013}}</ref>
