Sample content with a lot of issues

Headings

Empty headings

This heading has no text:

 

Skipped heading levels

This H6 should have been an H3

Suspiciously long headings

A very long heading. Headings should not be used for emphasis, but rather for a document outline, so if you find yourself talking this much, this probably is being used for visual formatting, not a heading.

Suspiciously short blockquotes that maybe should be headings

Not a blockquote

Suspicious paragraphs that look like headings

This looks suspiciously like a heading

Note that this test only flags an all-bold paragraph that has no punctuation at all,

so this paragraph will not be flagged as a false positive.

Meaningful Links

Links with no text at all

 

Links titled with a URL

https://editoria11y.princeton.edu

Links only titled with generic text

“Click here,” “learn more,” “download,” etc.

Click here

Links that open in a new window without an external link icon or text warning

An informative video.

Links to a documents

Note that you can set what Editoria11y should look for in your preferences file. By default it checks for PDF and DOC files.

A fake PDF link.

Tables

Tables without valid headers

A table without a TH header is invalid And no, an “H3” does not count.

Empty table header cells

Empty table heading cells will also be flagged:
 

Legibility

Lists

a. Fake lists

b. use letters or numbers.

c. rather than real formatting.

Caps lock

SEVERAL WORDS IN A ROW OF CAPS LOCK TEXT WILL TRIGGER A MANUAL CHECK WARNING.
