So, this is where client creators come in. Gemini clients should have a way to hide preformatted blocks, or fold them, or if they are a GUI client, like GemiNaut, which shows the Gemini text in n HTML-like area, map the blocks to a frame, so that screen readers can skip them.Hello - GemiNaut author here. I'd be interested to understand further how to make GemiNaut more accessible. As you have seen it uses an HTML renderer for the GUI layer, so in theory I'd expect it would be possible to have good accessibility to allow skipping over the preformatted areas.
How is this done for well behaved websites, where you want to specify an area that the user can skip over? Is there a standard way this is done?
An initial search suggests to use |aria-hidden="true" as an element attribute to hide it from screen readers.|
This is not my area of expertise, so I'm happy to follow up any pointers or take pull requests. Feel free to write to me off the list if you prefer.
