Accessibility

This page is an overview of how this site facilitates visitors with disabilities.

Access keys

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On the majority of computers you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key. On some versions of Internet Explorer you may need to press ALT+ an access key + Enter.

Due to the possible conflict of access keys with shortcut keys used by other programme's, pages on this site do not use access keys.

Visual design

This site uses only relative font sizes, compatible with the user-specified "text size" option in visual browsers.

This site uses cascading style sheets for visual layout.

If your browser or browsing device does not support stylesheets at all, the content of each page is still readable.
