Typst PDF Accessibility
Increase a11y of Typst's output
PDF files are often the only venue through which vital information is shared in business, education, and government. Even so, these files more often than not inaccessible to those of low or no vision. This not only prevents compliance with the European Accessibility Act and similar legislation in other countries, but prevents equal participation. This project proposes to implement all the features and tools needed for accessible PDF creation into Typst, a growing open-source automated writing platform. With this project, Typst will implement technical standards for accessibility and give authors tools to accommodate human factors of accessible documents.
