How does this help accessibility, though?
(Maybe I don't know enough about HTML. Is the usual way to produce a descending enumeration to write the elements in reverse order and then re-reverse them in CSS or so, which makes them be read wrong by screen readers?)
- CM30 3y agoThat's a good point. There's no obvious way to mark up a HTML list as being reversed in CSS alone, at least not without a bunch of Flexbox styles and stuff. So the likelihood that someone would use an unsemantic alternative for this is basically non existent.
- chrismorgan 3y agoThe alternative is just specifying the value on each item. These two are equivalent: <ol reversed> <li>Three <li>Two <li>One </ol> <ol> <li value=3>Three <li value=2>Two <li value=1>One </ol> Note also that reversing content via CSS is generally unwise, because things like screen readers, text selection and tab indexing operate on DOM tree order.
