What is the feature?

  • Add three elements to YAML to enable passing veraPDF a11y testing
  • update vignette to explain testing framework and how to use it

How have you implemented the solution?

  • Altering files that create YAML to add in Quarto 1.9's required lines for passing a11y checks and adding in lines to embed figure fonts

Does the PR impact any other area of the project, maybe another repo?

  • No

@Schiano-NOAA When you requested my review on your PR deprecating a11y functions, I did some more testing and found how we could update asar to pass veraPDF a11y criteria. NOAA's a11y testing is based on a different framework, but being able to show that reports pass criteria denoted by an additional testing framework (that's open source and widely used worldwide) would only be helpful, IMO. Quarto uses veraPDF for their a11y testing.

I think that's super smart. I will take a look at this asap.
