Links must have a visual style that is evident without user interaction (relying solely on a color change or underline during hover or focus is insufficient).

Objectives

• Allow easy identification of inline links.
• Improve link visibility and usability.
• Improve content accessibility for people with disabilities

Implementation

• Hyperlinks can be differentiated using CSS properties such as text color, background color, underlining, bold, borders, font, etc.

Control

• In each section or chapter, identify all links in the text.
• Ensure that these links are clearly distinguished from the rest of the text (for example, by color, underlining, or another visual effect).
• When links are differentiated solely by color, verify that this difference is sufficiently noticeable and that an additional effect (such as a visual change) appears when hovering over the link or when the link receives keyboard focus.
