Replying to [comment:16 azaozz]:
> Were there any tests without the patch?
I think yes, we should have something would need @rianrietveld help to
retrieve some report.
> The buttons behave differently depending on whether something is
selected in the textarea.
Yup I know. The patch tries to take care of this. It's more confusing to
hear `bee` or `slash bee` IMHO.
> As I mentioned above this toolbar is not necessary to use and is
targeted at people with some understanding of HTML. Wouldn't it be clearer
for the screen readers to announce the actual HTML tags instead of "plain
language" descriptions of the tags?
To my understanding, and from the feedback during the test, many screen
reader users often switch to "HTML" mode because TinyMCE is too difficult
to use. They're not necessarily technical but would need some basic
formatting.
