Problem/Motivation

When comparing two versions, there is green and red highlighted text that visually indicates the differences between two versions. This is not conveyed to some assistive technology users such as screen reader users.

Steps to reproduce

  1. To compare two revisions, use the radio buttons from column A and B and press the compare button
  2. Click "Visual inline" button
  3. Green and red highlighted text appears

Proposed resolution

These elements are already correctly marked up using <ins> and <del> elements, therefore there is a recommended correction which adds the CSS content property, along with the ::before and ::after pseudo-elements.
