Make available without colour any information which is conveyed with the use of colour.

(see guidelines for overcoming access barriers)

When designing guided choices, use heading tags or bold tags instead of or at the very least, along with, the colour attribute to highlight suggested outcomes. Ensure this feature is obvious and contextual.

The following example shows the use of the <strong> strong</strong> tag. This is better than the bold tag alone because it is designed to indicate structural emphasis which can be rendered as a font style change or speech inflection according to the web browser being used to access the page.

Example:

Using the <strong> tag:

Textbooks required for Certificate 2, those in bold are compulsory reading:

Book 1
Book 2
Book 3
Book 4
Book 5

Code for the <strong> tag:


<p>Textbooks required for Certificate 2, 
those in bold are compulsory reading:</p>
<p>Book 1<br>
Book 2 <br>
<strong>Book 3</strong><br>
Book 4 <br>
<strong>Book 5</strong>
