Typst 0.14 offering accessibility is really great. Kudos to the developers.
It seems that now the packages have to catch up. Is there a list of packages which are supposed to be compatible with typst creating PDF/UA-1 documents?
I don’t think so, but would be cool if Search — Typst: Universe had a filter for this. PDF/UA-1 compatible packages filter option · Issue #781 · typst/webapp-issues · GitHub

Do you have any examples? It would be useful to know what’s not working and what kind of problems can arise. I can imagine that package authors now can test with typst 0.14’s UA-1 features and evaluate themselves, but it’s not certain that they foresee every use case or interaction of features.
Many packages have images or so. If they provide the image they should also offer an alt text. Perhaps even allow the package user to override the alt text if another language is needed.
I stumbled upon this when I tried out a small example and opened an issue here:
I guess that I cannot fix it on my side without any addition in either codly-languages or codly
I opened a codly issue regarding alt text: Accessibility · Issue #113 · Dherse/codly · GitHub

@Andrew Thanks for coming up with artefacts. I wasn’t aware of it to be honest.
