## Common accessibility checks

The checks that are currently implemented are:

- Check that the document title is set.

- Check that the document language is set, or that all styles that are in use, have the language set.

- Check all images, graphics, OLE objects for the alt (or title in some objects) text.

- Check that tables do not include split or merged cells, which could be disorienting for users with visual impairments.

- Check for fake/manual numbering (not using integrated numbering). For example writing "1." "2." "3." at the beginning of the paragraphs.

- Check that hyperlink text is not a hyperlink itself - hyperlink should be described.

- Check for the contrast between text and the background. The algorithm is described in the WCAG specification.

- Check for blinking text, which can be problematic for people with cognitive disabilities or photosensitive epilepsy.

- Check for footnotes and endnotes, which should be avoided.

- Check for heading order. Order of the headings must increase incrementally with no skips (for example Heading 1 to Heading 3, skipping Heading 2).

- Check, if text conveys additional meaning with (direct) formatting.
