Finally got a chance to catch up with MineDogucu’s #user2022 talk on accessibility. Some great tips within a wide-ranging framework, from making resources open and accessible to using example data on a range of topics to coding tips.

Code snippet, showing the use of fig.alt (for alt text) and fig.cap (for the title): ```{r fig.cap="Perfectly proportional penguins: flipper length and bill length by species.", fig.alt="A scatter plot showing penguin flipper lengths on the x axis and bill lengths on the y axis, where penguins are colour-coded by species. Because the proportions of bill length and flipper length are very consistent within each species, the points in the scatter plot form three distinct clusters."}

Plot outputted by the code, demonstrating the OkabeIto colour scheme.
