@matuzo VoiceOver does support ‘<ins>’ and ‘<del>’
EDIT: only iOS/VO supports them, not macOS/VO unless customized with role-description.
If you hack these with pseudo-content, what about screen readers that already announce them? I don’t think this is a good exception to the general axiom you’ve mentioned (of not doing this with inline semantics)
@siblingpastry I was unsure weather I should add it. I'll do proper screen reader testing and document it. At some point I also plan test with users.
@matuzo Last time I tested these, only ‘<s>’ was unsupported, but that doesn’t preclude other failing circumstances I didn’t encounter. I’ll be interested to hear what you learn about this.
@siblingpastry @matuzo
Always, ALWAYS, test the support I identify in posts. Especially if one is nearly 8 years old and the most recent update is 8 months ago (or, like, 30 browser releases).
Frankly, I hide content in `<s>` in personal projects so I am not tempted to use it.
And I haven’t tested `<ins>` in 5 years.
@siblingpastry
Sweet! Got a URL so I can link it and make that part of my post vaguely more recent?
@aardrian Semi-sweet -- I was partly misremembering now I come back to look at the test page I made. They're both fine in iOS/VO (but don't support role-description), whereas neither are announced in macOS/VO (unless they have a role-description and are focused).
This is the test page: https://cdpn.io/pen/debug/YPzgYVM
This is the application (uses `<mark>` and `<del>` with role-description and interactivity): https://cdpn.io/pen/debug/OJeqBZm
@siblingpastry @aardrian Interesting! When I tested it didn't work in VO. I'll have to check the version I've tested with when I'm back at the office.
