Accessibility Checker
The Accessibility Checker (called the 508c checker in versions 3.7 and below) checks and reports errors that, when resolved, result in an enhanced accessibility for published content for the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Guidelines.The accessibility checker, much like the spell checker and the link checker, is invoked after a page edit is committed by clicking the Submit button. If there are any elements that the CMS deems suspect, the user is forwarded to a Accessibility Checker page listing the errors sorted by the field on the page in which they occur.
The checker will report on common errors such as <table> elements without summary attributes as well as <img> tags without alt attributes among others. You can customize the accessibility checking for your own specific needs as well.
