Guideline B.1.1: Ensure that automatically-specified content is accessible. [Implementing B.1.1]
Rationale: If authoring tools automatically produce web content that includes accessibility problems (WCAG), then this will impose additional repair tasks on authors.
B.1.1.1 Content Auto-Generation After Authoring Sessions (WCAG): The authoring tool does not automatically generate web content after the end of an authoring session, or, authors can specify that the content be accessible web content (WCAG). (Level A to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A success criteria; Level AA to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA success criteria; Level AAA to meet all WCAG 2.0 success criteria)
Note: This success criterion applies only to automatic processes specified by the authoring tool developer. It does not apply when author actions prevent generation of accessible web content (WCAG).
Implementing B.1.1.1
B.1.1.2 Content Auto-Generation During Authoring Sessions (WCAG): If the authoring tool provides the functionality for automatically generating web content during an authoring session, then at least one of the following is true: (Level A to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A success criteria; Level AA to meet WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA success criteria; Level AAA to meet all WCAG 2.0 success criteria)
(a) Accessible: The content is accessible web content (WCAG) without author input; or
(b) Prompting: During the automatic generation process, authors are prompted for any required accessibility information (WCAG); or
(c) Automatic Checking: After the automatic generation process, accessibility checking is automatically performed; or
(d) Checking Suggested: After the automatic generation process, the authoring tool prompts authors to perform accessibility checking.
Note 1: Automatic generation includes automatically selecting templates for authors.
Note 2: This success criterion applies only to automatic processes specified by the authoring tool developer. It does not apply when author actions prevent generation of accessible web content (WCAG).
