This is a Working Draft of the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) version
2.0. This document includes recommendations for assisting authoring tool developers to make the authoring tools that they develop more accessible to people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, motor difficulties, speech difficulties, and others.
Accessibility, from an authoring tool perspective, includes addressing the needs of two (potentially overlapping) user groups with disabilities:
authors of web content, whose needs are met by ensuring that the authoring
tool user interface itself is accessible (addressed by Part
A of the guidelines), and
end
users of web content, whose needs are met by ensuring that all authors are enabled, supported, and guided towards producing accessible
web content (addressed by Part B of the guidelines).
