Rora Borealis<p>Question for folks who use screen readers. Does strike-through text tend to cause problems with screen readers? If I was trying to get across how a sentence was changed, like: "The -little- girl climbed the tree." Where "little" is struck through to indicate it was removed. Are there any other factors to consider? Or do they tend to handle it well? I don't feel like the research I did is reliable. The quality of the search results were suspect.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/visuallyimpaired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>visuallyimpaired</span></a></p>
