Description

Increasing Access

This a suggested restructuring of the Documentation Style Guide to give more emphasis to the goal of inclusivity and accessibility by moving the technical code style recommendations to a separate page.

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?
  • Accessibility
  • Color
  • Core/Environment/Rendering
  • Data
  • DOM
  • Events
  • Image
  • IO
  • Math
  • Typography
  • Utilities
  • WebGL
  • Build Process
  • Unit Testing
  • Internalization
  • Friendly Errors
  • Other (specify if possible)
Feature enhancement details
  1. I think it might be helpful to separate the "Writing" and "Code Sample" styles into two separate pages. The code sample style suggestions are very good, but also very technical, and they take up a lot of page real estate which takes away from the main message of the "Writing" section, which is to emphasize inclusivity and accessibility.

  2. Also, the Documentation Style Guide doesn't appear in the left navigation bar -- it seems to only have a link from the "Contributing Documentation" page.

(I was asked to look at this page by @nickmcintyre)
