Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
- VS Code Version: 1.92.2
- OS Version: 14.6.1 (23G93)
Description:
Certain content, such as "Extensions," "HTML" visually functions as headings but does not use proper heading markup, making navigation difficult for screen reader users.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Navigate to content like "Extensions" in VSCode.
- Use a screen reader to navigate and notice the lack of heading structure.
User Impact: Screen reader users will have difficulty efficiently navigating and gaining an accurate overview of the page due to missing heading markup.
Expected Behavior: Text that visually functions as a heading should use appropriate heading elements (<h1>, <h2>, etc.), with levels that reflect the visual hierarchy. For example:
"Extensions" should be <h2>,
"HTML" should be <h3>,
"HTML: Auto Closing Tags" should be <h4>.
Actual Behavior: Text visually appears as a heading but lacks the proper HTML heading tags, reducing accessibility.
Recommendation: Ensure that text functioning as headings uses appropriate heading tags (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) to improve navigation for screen reader users.
