Description
axe-core flags link-in-text-block (serious) on /reference/ and /reference/p5/circle/. Inline links inside body text are only distinguishable by color. There is no underline or other visual indicator. This fails WCAG 1.4.1 (Use of Color).
Examples:
The p5.sound link in the intro paragraph on /reference/
The ellipseMode() link inside body text on /reference/p5/circle/
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to /reference/ or /reference/p5/circle/
- Run axe DevTools or npm run test:a11y
- See link-in-text-block violation
Expected: inline links should be visually distinguishable without relying on color alone, for example by adding an underline.
I searched open and closed issues before filing. No existing issue covers this rule in this repo.
