| Test Instruction | Instruction Detail | Expected Test Case Result |
|---|---|---|
| IC-1 | Visually apparent lists. For each list, determine if it appears to be ordered, unordered, or a description list. Ordered lists <ol> are numbered sequentially and, if necessary, hierarchically (e.g., 1, 2, 2a, 2ai, etc.) and are used where sequence or the ability to reference specific items by number/letter is important. Unordered lists <ul> are not numbered and are used where sequence or the ability to reference specific items by number/letter is not important. Description lists <dl> are used to group terms with their descriptions. |
This code sample includes one visually apparent description list. |
| 13.4-3 | Check that content is marked as a description list when terms and their descriptions are presented in the form of a list. [SC 1.3.1] | Fail - the visually apparent description list is not defined programatically. |
| Result | If the above check fails, Baseline Test 13.4-List fails. | FAIL; the check fails. |
