The “Inappropriate HTML Text Formatting Check” evaluates whether there is any HTML element or attribute being used to control the visual presentation of text.
Example outcome
I located 1 HTML element or attribute that is being used to control the visual presentation of text.
Impact
Visual Impairments: HTML presentation tags don’t convey semantic meaning. Screen readers may not interpret visual styling accurately, leading to confusing or missing context.
Cognitive Disabilities: Inconsistent or misused formatting can impair readability and comprehension.
Color Blindness: Using outdated HTML formatting limits the ability to customize styles via user stylesheets or browser settings (e.g., increasing font size, changing contrast).
