Contributions summary:Loic primarily contributed to the front-end development of the Bootstrap framework. Their work involved implementing accessibility improvements by adding `tabindex` and `aria-disabled` attributes to disabled links across various example pages. Additionally, they updated the toast documentation, implemented the `data-dismiss="toast"` attribute to enable user interaction, and made adjustments to the toast component in multiple files. These changes reflect a focus on improving the user experience and accessibility of the framework.
The target of Orange Confort+ functionalities is to enhance user experience on web sites, which are already accessible, or still accessible. Orange Confort+ provides these services : Typography - user may change: font size, space between words, characters and lines, font-face to Open Dislexic Layout: cancel layout, text align left, numbering list items, modify navigation links appereance, disply a reading ruler Colors : Modify foreground/background colors Behavior: direct access to main content on page load, automatic selection of page clickable elements with a user defined delay, page scrolling on simple user on hover. Be careful, Orange Confort+ does not improve the accessibility level of a web site: blocking points still stay blocking points, with or without Orange Confort+.
