Your daily frequent11y newsletter, brought to you by @ChrisBAshton:
The lang attribute: browsers telling lies, telling sweet little lies
- Manuel Matuzović shares some useful CSS that can alert you to a missing, empty or incorrect page-level
lang
attribute. For example: html:not([lang]) { border: 10px dotted red; }
- Manuel explains why setting the right value is important for screen reader support, as well things like auto translate.
- There’s an interesting section on quotation marks, highlighting the difference in style between English, German and French quotation mark notation. I wasn’t aware they were different!
