| Dec 8, 2022 at 0:55 | comment | added | uhoh | @Braiam See again the answer post I've linked to in my first comment, an SE staff is not the right person to decide if a) a code block or SE table is the best way to display JPL Horizions output whose formatting depends on equal paced font and benefits from those horizontal and vertical sliders, that's a community decision. Arguments against the code block display go back to a 10 year old MSE answer about using the back ticks in comments for emphasis. Q: How does that formatting in posts get processed by screen readers vs SE tables? Why would you vote against community input on that? | |
| Dec 8, 2022 at 0:48 | comment | added | uhoh | @Braiam I wholeheartedly agree that a website as impactful as this should already have either a paid position, or at a minimum retain expert consolation services so that it maximizes its accessibility. But in addition to that there is a lot of community interest in developing some "best practices" and guidelines for how to use the site's features. These are two separate things, and what I propose here would not be "unloading" nor a release of SE from their responsibilities. Just the opposite; community feedback about accessibility can foster more accountability. It's not an either/or thing | |
| Dec 8, 2022 at 0:20 | comment | added | Braiam | This is something that should be a paid position, not something that SE should unload to the community. Editing guidance notwithstanding needs to be stronger on the "avoid formatting as much as possible" | |

| Dec 7, 2022 at 4:13 | comment | added | uhoh | an example of "code-like" but non-code items using equal space font available from code block feature in this post space.stackexchange.com/a/61186/12102 that could be reviewed by folks skilled and experienced in the use of screen readers | |
