<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br><br>I'm working on usability and accessibility for a project that uses Markdown. When I tried out a screenreader on the automatic e-mail links, I noticed that there's nothing there semantically due to obfuscation. I think that obfuscation in this way is a neat feature, I hadn't heard about it before. This would be even better if there was a way to both obfuscate e-mail addresses and provide title text, such as <a href="obfuscated mailto:<a href="mailto:e-mail">e-mail</a> link" title="stuff screen readers read and what shows when you hover over the link">link text</link>. <br>
<br>It'd be cool, too, if screen readers learned how to read obfuscated words, but the day that happens, all the spam bots will, too. ;-)<br><br>Anyway, this is pretty minor, just wanted to contribute what I noticed about accessibility for food for thought and say hello. I'll write again if I notice anything else during my accessibility evaluation.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>
