Text formatting
Emphasis on stylistic emphasis such as bold or italic should be avoided, as they are not highlighted by default in screen readers. The text formatting that is often used to visually "scan" texts would result in undesirable overemphasis when using screen readers. Therefore, the formatting information is currently not taken into account by screen readers such as JAWS or NVDA.
Nevertheless, it is possible to create such emphasis if required. Example:
It is important to validate the ticket before starting the journey on the platform.
A better linguistic implementation would be:
Please note: The ticket can only be validated before starting the journey. To do this, use the ticket validators on the platforms.
Colors
The following colors can be selected barrier-free using the visual editor.
- red
- dark blue
- navy
In the wiki, emphasis is generally not used in the body text using font colors. Accessible templates should be set up for the use of colored elements, for example for info boxes.

Formatted message
Here the title "Warning!" is only visually bold (via CSS), since the word selection itself already emphasizes the content. The word "Never" in the text, however, was deliberately highlighted by the author using a <strong> element in order to place the emphasis on the beginning of a sentence.
Link as a button
Links can also be displayed in the style of a button.
Symbols
Symbols that are purely decorative are formatted using CSS.
