Guidance
Strive to meet WCAG 2.2 AAA Success Criterion 1.4.8 Visual Presentation.
For the visual presentation of blocks of text, use CSS to achieve the following:
- Width is no more than 80 characters or glyphs.
- Text is not justified (aligned to both the left and the right margins).
- Line spacing (leading) is at least space-and-a-half within paragraphs, and paragraph spacing is at least 1.5 times larger than the line spacing.
- Text can be resized without assistive technology up to 200 percent in a way that does not require the user to scroll horizontally to read a line of text on a full-screen window.
