This PR fixes some accessibility issues in our theme docs (i.e. not generated code) flagged by #1513. Here, I target changes that I say are not "systemic", i.e. issues that are easily resolvable by changing our copy and page structure (rather than issues that are created by how kramdown/rouge generates HTML, or reworking our color themes).
Here's a quick summary of the manual changes I made:
- ~~writing some JS to set `tabindex="0"` on all code blocks; I'd prefer a ruby-native solution, but that involves writing Ruby code, which is incompatible with the pages gem~~ I've moved this to #1533
- rewriting many headings named "Example" which were almost always h4s into more descriptive headings + the appropriate heading level, adding .text-delta to maintain the previous style when necessary
- removing some old heading ID hacks in `index-test` that are no longer necessary, since Jekyll does this automatically now
- fixing the table headings in `docs/utilities/layout.md`
- adding accessible titles + descriptions to the mermaid examples
- occasionally, slightly moving around copy to make it align with new headings
If you test with #1513 with the following rules disabled:
```rb
skipped_rules = [
'color-contrast', # requires theme auditing
# issues w/ autogenerated footnotes
'aria-allowed-role',
'landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo',
'landmark-unique',
'aria-deprecated-role',
# issues w/ markdown checkboxes
'label'
]
```
You should get passing tests :) which is awesome!
## next steps
1. we need to do a pass over our docs copy - very inconsistent. This has been a pain point for me for a while now, just need to find time to sit down and do it. In particular, I'd love to standardize how we display example code (perhaps even hiding it with `<details>` and `<summary>`?), our headings language, what goes into the ToC, our overall writing style, etc.
2. ~~I don't love the JS hack for adding `tabindex="0"` to code blocks (so that they are keyboard-focusable). Ideally, we'd add a custom formatter to rouge to do this, but we can't execute arbitrary Ruby code when users use `github-pages`. I'll look into this some more - maybe rouge would be open to adding this as a feature.~~ see: #1533
4. There are some systemic issues that need a deeper look:
1. The most common issue is still color-contrast. Fixing this involves:
- looking at our whites/blacks/grays for core text and highlighting
- reevaluating our syntax highlighting themes
- fixing dark mode, once and for all :)
- also, picking accessible callout colours!
2. kramdown's autogenerated footnotes feature creates a bunch of errors that aXe flags: it seems like a deprecated aria role is being used, and perhaps some misuse of markup. Need to look into this more before I can make a solid attempt at resolving this issue.
3. We demonstrate the use of `- [ ]`, but this generates `<input type="checkbox">` values with no label. I'm not entirely sure what the best way to fix this problem is (without writing custom Ruby code). I'll have to think about this some more.

This PR is motivated from https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs/pull/1259#issuecomment-1655899503. It adds a new workflow (`CI / Validate HTML (3.1)`) that validates the output of `bundle exec jekyll build`. It does this with two separate tools:
1. The [`html5validator-action`](https://github.com/Cyb3r-Jak3/html5validator-action), which is a wrapper (Docker image + argument forwarding) around the [Nu HTML checker](https://github.com/validator/validator), which is what is used by the [W3C markup validation service](https://validator.w3.org/)
2. [`html-proofer`](https://github.com/gjtorikian/html-proofer), which performs auxiliary checks on the validity of script, image, and link *values*, but not the markup itself
- note: prior versions of `html-proofer` did use nokogiri to also validate HTML, but the author has elected to remove that feature in versions 4+
I then fix a few issues that are flagged by these tools. I'll split this into,
**changes affecting users**:
- strictly incorrect: in `_layouts/minimal.html`, a `<div>` had duplicate `id`s. I've removed the incorrect one, which is related to...
- semantically wrong (but not technically incorrect): in both `minimal` and `default` layouts, we had two `<div>` tags with `id="main-content-wrap"`. These don't do anything; the associated styling is with the *class* `main-content-wrap`. I've elected to remove these `id`s to avoid confusion and keep the layouts in sync; however, **this is technically a breaking change**
- observe that `#main-content` is used for the "skip to main content" feature, which I missed in an earlier iteration of this PR
**changes affecting only our documentation**
- a broken link to mermaid docs (I've changed it to a valid one)
- an incorrectly-specified `aux_link` to our own repository
- various links that point to the bare URL `another-page`, which is clearly invalid; I've changed these to point to our homepage
- an incorrect header link
- various links to `http://example.com`, which I've changed to point to our homepage
- an incorrect link to `@flyx`'s profile for the AsciiDoctor gist
- a handful of (otherwise-valid) `http` links that should be `https`: the lunr docs, and patrick's personal website
The commit history shows the Nu validator flagging issues in CI properly in commits [4128b23](4128b23ef2) and [3527220](35272203ba).
## relevant configuration
- I exclude `github.com` URLs from external link checks with `html-proofer`. This is because GitHub does not like it when we ping too frequently, and rate limits us, which in turn provides many false positives. This is aligned with their documentation, which uses this ignore.
- I've pinned the hash for the 3rd-party action that wraps the W3C markup validation service. This aligns with #1148, but means that we'll have to keep an eye on it for updates.
This PR does two things:
1. fixes using mermaid version `>= 10` from the CDN, by importing the ESM module instead
2. moves script loading code from `head.html` to the mermaid include
I've also added some light documentation to clarify how using mermaid with local paths should work (users should specify a version, and they should only use fully-minified bundles with no local references).
The nice thing about this approach is that it's a breaking change for nobody, and only adds functionality (v10 support). Eventually, we should remove support for mermaid <10, which should make this much easier!
Closes#1206.
## Context
In v10, Mermaid has implemented a few (admittedly, very frustrating to deal with) breaking changes:
1. they've removed CJS support, which is fine, *but*
2. that means that the `dist` they publish to JSDelivr now has a **different URL**: for versions `10.0.0` - `10.0.2`, **they do not have a minified bundle -- you have to load the ESM version with relative imports**
3. and, separately the `init` function has been deprecated
2 is really the issue, and so I've had to go into the code to now load mermaid by ESM by default when the user is on mermaid > v10.
I've tested this with:
- CDN version < 10 (v9)
- CDN version 10
- local path with version < 10 (v9)
- local path with version 10 (new: also loaded as an ESM module)
Separately, I chose to put all the mermaid stuff in one include because:
- I think @pdmosses requested something like this - it's a bit confusing that some mermaid code is *not* in the include, and this makes modular components ... more modular
- from a developer perspective, it's more clear what's happening with mermaid
- mermaid is not render-blocking, so it shouldn't be in the `head` anyways

As discussed in #1174, this adds a documentation section to UI Components > Code > Mermaid that describes the usage of mermaid with AsciiDoc.
Regarding the comment on asciidoctor-diagram in my edits, I cannot stress enough how much pain this is to set up (this was the first thing I tried before switching to JTD's client-side mermaid support). It basically pre-renders mermaid diagrams in a headless chromium browser. This requires manual configuration of Puppeteer, along with additional config for Jekyll to keep the images the extension creates. And when you managed to get the image on your site, it looks horrible. This is why I wrote „not recommended“.
Hi there!
Thank you for the great theme! I am a happy user and was delighted to see that mermaid support has landed.
In some cases the usage of jsDelivr might not be possible for technical or compliance reasons.
This commit adds a second way to include the mermaid lib by specifying a path in the mermaid config. This way a local version of the lib can be used.
It should be fully backwards compatible, not requiring any action by users that already include the lib from the CDN.
I already added some documentation, but I am also happy to extend this, if this change is generally well-received.
Cheers,
Christian

This came up again in https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs/discussions/1136#discussioncomment-4716253, so I think it's best for us to resolve this sooner rather than later.
This PR is me doing that. I:
- have added a headings-level "New" label to every new heading introduced since `v0.3`
- added, when possible, inline YAML comments when new configuration options have been introduced
I did this by scanning through the CHANGELOG and selecting each feature that is either tagged with `Add` and has documentation.
I may have also missed any new features, so some double-checking would be helpful!
In touching up the migration guide, I noticed that many of our documentation site links are broken! For example, on the homepage, this link:
<img width="782" alt="screenshot of homepage; code snippet is in next block" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14893287/210462690-31aa7bf5-dd79-4e8f-a3c5-1213e73771c4.png">
which has the following href
```code
<a href="/just-the-docs/just-the-docs/CHANGELOG/">the CHANGELOG</a>
```
duplicates the `baseurl` twice. There are 14 such broken links across the site. Each link duplicates the `baseurl` and `link` tags, which has since been resolved with links being relative by default (there's a set of PRs that document this - I can't find the exact paper trail right now).
To resolve this, I:
- find and replace site-wide `{{ site.baseurl }}{% link` with `{% link`
- tested each link, which now works properly locally *and* on the deploy preview
I'm surprised we didn't catch this earlier! I also could be missing something else, in which case feedback on this PR is certainly welcome.
* Add toc heading custom include
Closes#961.
* Revert "Add toc heading custom include"
This reverts commit 49813c341973e313db0a21f075a60ebf2120989e.
* Update code highlighting with line numbers
- Add the example of code highlighting with line numbers explained in the [Jekyll docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/liquid/tags/#line-numbers).
- Fix the styling of narrow code with line numbers, which floats to the centre without this CSS adjustment. (The line numbers column expands as needed with larger numbers of lines, despite using `width`; using `min-width` doesn't work.)
To apply HTML compression, I removed `vendor` from `exclude`; that change is left to a different PR.
This PR updates the home page and the CHANGELOG to refer to v0.4.0.rc1 as a pre-release or release candidate, rather than a release. See [this comment](https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs/pull/613#issuecomment-1240442518) for motivation.
It also adds the versioned docs issue (#728) to the roadmap in the CHANGELOG.
As the config for the theme docs now needs to declare callouts, the [callouts docs](https://just-the-docs.github.io/just-the-docs/docs/ui-components/callouts/) can now illustrate the rendered appearance. (These callouts are merely examples: the names and colors should eventually be replaced by a principled collection, taking account of WCAG.)
This PR has a bit of scope creep! This PR now:
- changes the mermaid opt-in logic to only check for the existence of a `mermaid` key instead of `mermaid != false`: this resolves the follow-up in #857
- changes the behaviour of mermaid configuration
- instead of using `mermaid_init.html` with default settings, makes the include `mermaid_config.js`
- the include is loaded directly into the contents of `mermaid_initialize`
- by default, it is an empty object (i.e. `{}`), triggering the defaults
- updates docs
- adds an example to the markdown kitchen sink
It does significantly change the interface provided in #857, and I apologize for the confusion. However, given the discussion in this PR, I think it's the best move forward!
This PR combines (and resolves conflicts between) #448, #463, #466, #494, #495, #496, #498, and #572.
The main aim is to facilitate use of several of the implemented features _together_, when using the fork as a remote theme. It should also simplify merging the included PRs into a future release.
The branch [combination-rec-nav](https://github.com/pdmosses/just-the-docs/tree/combination-rec-nav) adds [multi-level navigation](https://github.com/pmarsceill/just-the-docs/pull/462) and (NEW:) [sibling links](https://github.com/pmarsceill/just-the-docs/pull/394) to the branch used for this PR. It includes updated [documentation for the navigation structure](https://pdmosses.github.io/just-the-docs/docs/navigation-structure/), and reorganised and extended [navigation tests](https://pdmosses.github.io/just-the-docs/tests/navigation/). The documentation and the tests can be browsed at the (temporary) [website published from the combination-rec-nav branch](https://pdmosses.github.io/just-the-docs/).
_Caveat:_ The changes to v0.3.3 in this PR and #462 have not yet been reviewed or approved, and may need updating before merging into a release of the theme. If you use a branch from a PR as a remote theme, there is a risk of such updates affecting your website. Moreover, these branches are likely to be deleted after they have been merged. To avoid such problems, you could copy the branch that you want to use to your own fork of the theme.
