Accessibility

Preamble

Spun off from discussion of link underlining at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268426#c4

I aimed to perform accessibility checks on two pages in the FreeBSD documentation portal. Whilst preparing to use tools that were familiar to me, I decided to see what else might be useful.

A few findings

Extended regular expression (ERE) trial and error

Rough notes …

Examples

Git commits to the FreeBSD ports tree may have an unpredictable number of spaces in the approval line

Notes to self.

I have no idea what might have led to conflicts involving files such as /usr/src/UPDATING …
