Release 1.8.0 of Open Berkeley contains updated features, accessibility improvements, bug fixes, and minor code updates.
Heading level updates
Following a recent change in the Berkeley Brand markup for Promo Blocks, we have adjusted the heading level used by the widget. Promo Block primary text will now be output as a level 2 heading (H2) instead of a level 3 heading (H3).
As a result of this change, you may see differences in how Siteimprove reports several Best Practice issues: “Headings are not structured” and “Content missing after heading.”
Please remember that it’s the content creator’s responsibility to ensure that headings and widgets are used correctly, including using headings semantically on a particular page. We recommend that you review guidance from the Digital Accessibility Program’s page on Headings. In order to more easily review the heading structure of your pages, you may want to use a browser extension such as HeadingsMap for Chrome (also available for Firefox and Edge).
Email web-platform@berkeley.edu if you have any specific questions about the best practices for using Promo Blocks on your site.
