Changelog 2026-03-05 (Accessibility External Link SR Hint Pass 19)

Article content

Changed

• Updated the shared Markdown link renderer to include a screen-reader-only hint for external links: “(opens in a new tab)”.
• Kept the visual external-link glyph (↗) as decorative-only (aria-hidden="true") while pairing it with explicit non-visual context.

Why

• Ensures non-visual users receive the same navigation expectation as sighted users when links open in a new tab.
• Improves consistency and trust in outbound navigation behavior across all rendered content links.
