Summary: Add an option for messages to be set as status
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-879128f5-e8a8-4559-bfcc-6b772b076954 Improvement
Affects Versions: 16.3.1
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Rendering - Box Macro
Created: 16/May/24 14:08
Labels: wcag
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-major-aa2626e7-826f-4f37-b22c-872cbadc3889 Major
Reporter: Charpentier Lucas
Description:

Sometimes, the message boxes such as `success`, `warning` and `error` get used through the UI to indicate the status of a process. All of these boxes should be treated specially by screen readers.

The standard way to ask for this is to add the role=status or the aria properties aria-live or aria-atomic.

Note that this should be toggled off by default, we don't want all the warning box to be displayed as status of a current process. Sometimes they just provide extra context on a piece of info and do not need to get a special focus.
E.g., a documentation page with 20 warning boxes in different places, they might be important to highlight the importance of some info, but the user doesn't need a list of them when opening the page.
