When working with links in a text block a couple rules need to be followed to remain in compliance with the ADA.
- If the link is *inline with text then it is NOT a button.
- If the link is inline with text but not **in flow it MUST be a button.
This is demonstrated in the image below where the red represents a piece of linked content.
Definitions:
*inline with text – In this context, this refers to a link that is used inside of a text block.
**in flow – In this context, this refers to a link that is used inside of a text block but is not used inside a block of text and is meant to be separated.
