Visually identifiable meaningful blocks of content
Procedure
For each meaningful block of content in the page/view:
- Check that each meaningful block of content is grouped by one or more of the following characteristics:
- Color or lightness — the same color scheme is used (Note that this should also meet requirements for ‘Color alone’ and ‘Contrast’)
- Borders — blocks are contained within the same borders
- Spacing — blocks are grouped based on their proximity to others within the same area, while spacing is used to separate different sections of content
- Font — blocks are presented with similar font families
- Position — blocks are located in the same area of the page/view (for example, header, navigation, footer)
- Repeated visual feature — blocks contain a consistent visual feature (for example, bullets in a list, checkbox)
Expected results
- #1 is true.
