Re: How to make accessible flowcharts?

In principle, semantically you can map a flowchart and its links /
choices to a set of pages with cross links. You may also map the logic
to text elements on one page with in-page links to other elements on the
same page, which would need good focus. This may not work well across
devices and user agents, though - I remember reading that in-page links
were not well supported or buggy in some mobile browsers. I have
recently tested a web application where a visual flow chart was also
available in an alternative list/grid view of steps with in-page cross
linking. That worked, sort-of, though I would be cautious claiming full
equivalence of such a solution as there is definitely less context
available compared to viewing the full flowchart diagram.

Best,
