Description

Remember to provide instructions for screen reader support:

  • Mark up master and especially details as <section> / role="region"
  • Use appropriate headings for each area (detail level +1 level compared to master; maybe also aria-labelledby should be used to associate each area with their titles – not sure if necessary)
  • Maybe show how to generate announcement when contents of details changes?

Research direction

Start by locating the existing MasterDetailLayout samples in the documentation and review how their master and detail areas are currently presented. Update the samples to demonstrate semantic regions, appropriate heading levels, optional aria-labelledby associations, and announcements when detail content changes; done means the requested screen-reader guidance is shown clearly in the examples.
