Sadly “Read More” on its own does not meet new accessibility standards see here for help on what needs to be added: [https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/helping-people-to-use-your-service/understanding-wcag](https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/helping-people-to-use-your-service/understanding-wcag) ---

FYI - In Australia, the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Web+Content+Accessibility+Guidelines+%28WCAG%29+2.2+Level+AA&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfDjF5IFxgojEZgThsHDvQ-3dMLyqYEy6vcX8pB9u2dhR4R-fZ0l-M_hvZHnkyddO7Y7_ZcEZ42k-yDqhz302XkuoYrMS8ZiOAuzT65aA6RsxFfpZgb_sD7Xl6lue5ZvEWY&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwjzrZSuoPyTAxWKU0EAHZBRHusQgK4QegQIARAB) is the mandatory standard for government websites and a crucial benchmark for compliance with the _[Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA)](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Disability+Discrimination+Act+1992+%28DDA%29&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&mstk=AUtExfDjF5IFxgojEZgThsHDvQ-3dMLyqYEy6vcX8pB9u2dhR4R-fZ0l-M_hvZHnkyddO7Y7_ZcEZ42k-yDqhz302XkuoYrMS8ZiOAuzT65aA6RsxFfpZgb_sD7Xl6lue5ZvEWY&csui=3&ved=2ahUKEwjzrZSuoPyTAxWKU0EAHZBRHusQgK4QegQIARAC)_.

I think that “read more” doesn’t mean anything to accessibility programmes as its not descriptive so I think if you put “read more about whatever the subject is” thats acceptable as it gives the reader the option to say yes or no. I am not an expert on this but @guywoodland is your main man and I know he is on here. He’s very knowledgable and helpful in this subject. Good Luck! ---

Read more is a link and a link is always better if it has a tittle which describes the link and provides information telling the user if by clicking on the link you stay in the current window or if you are going to a new window. ---

@Hocko, I put together a quick example of this for @llangpierce earlier this year! Take a look at my post below for an example project and video… > [@Truncate text in elements](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/truncate-text-in-elements/54973/2): > > There’s not a built-in component to hide/show more content, however I spent a little time and built this simple “Expander” Component for you.

@dan your project is great however not compliant! 🙂 when a person has an accessibility reader on “read more”, “go back” ,“hide” etc. are non compliant because e.g a blind person has no clue whether to say yes or no as they do not know where they are going to, thats why I added first post about “read more” not being compliant. I understand your example is an expander and we can change it to whatever, which is great, but accessibility is a big thing now in web design and a lot of people may not be aware. TIA ---
