Wagtail VPAT / ACR reports

An Accessibility Conformance Report or Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®) is a document that explains how information and communication technology (ICT) products such as software, hardware, electronic content, and support documentation meet (conform to) the Revised 508 Standards for IT accessibility.

Wagtail documents the accessibility of the Wagtail admin interface with ACR / VPAT® reports, as this format is widely used in a procurement context.

Generating reports

Either start from an existing report, or use the OpenACR Editor to generate the YAML. Then use the OpenACR CLI to generate the HTML and Markdown:

# Update all with absolute paths:
openacr output -f vpat_wagtail_6.3_2.5-edition-wcag-2.2-508-en.yaml -t openacr-markdown-0.1.0.handlebars -c 2.5-edition-wcag-2.2-508-en.yaml -o ./vpat_wagtail_6.3_2.5-edition-wcag-2.2-508-en.md
openacr output -f vpat_wagtail_6.3_2.5-edition-wcag-2.2-508-en.yaml -t openacr-html-0.1.0.handlebars -c 2.5-edition-wcag-2.2-508-en.yaml -o ./vpat_wagtail_6.3_2.5-edition-wcag-2.2-508-en.html

Note the default HTML output relies on external files which we don’t want to include, and has a few bugs. See commit ae2d51b for necessary changes.
