CSS Audit project

  • @joyously had asked about the format of colour values in the CSS Audit report and if visibility could be improved. @danfarrow suggested that the values could be moved to appear beneath the colour “chips”
  • @danfarrow also suggested that improvements could be made to the report. Since the report deals with tabular data we could use HTMLHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. tables in conjunction with a table library like Filament Group’s Tablesaw to enable responsive, sortable tables
  • @notlaura raised the topic of CSS linting, linking an older comment from @tellthemachines pointing out the core CSS doesn’t adhere to our custom WP config. @ryelle clarified that GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ is, but not core CSS, and shared ticket #29792 (she added that getting it implemented would involve fixing 6,000+ errors – yikes!)
