Purpose

This PR hides title emojis from assistive technologies in the application UI while keeping accessible text labels.

issue 2315

Proposal

  • Mark title emojis as aria-hidden="true" in the left panel tree (SimpleDocItem, DocSubPageItem)
  • Mark title emojis as decorative in the document header read-only title (DocTitleText)
  • Pass emoji separately in the left panel collapse button so aria-label uses text only
  • Use title without emoji in tree item aria-label values
  • Leave document body emojis unchanged (user content)
  • Manual SR check: tree items, header title, and collapse button announce text without emoji description

Walkthrough

Document title components separate decorative emojis from readable titles and render emojis with aria-hidden. Collapsed-panel buttons accept emoji-aware title content. Document tree accessibility labels use emoji-free display titles. The changelog records the accessibility change.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3d3f5

The PR changes only how decorative title emojis are announced by screen readers, without affecting stored content or core document behavior. It is mergeable with owner follow-up on two bounded changelog issues: wording cleanup and a duplicate heading that may fail markdownlint.

I am personally doubting this issue is legit. It is a emoji added by a user, so we have to cross the fingers that the user didn't add a emoji that actually contain value, because it will not be displayed anymore. Btw a user can still add a emoji at the end of the title if he wants.

Let's keep this component simple, buttonTitle can be a reactNode with the span emoji in it.

Not sure why we remove this part, what if doc.title is empty ?

Good catch the diff looking suspicious

We didn't drop the fallback, it's just moved up: displayTitle = titleWithoutEmoji || untitledDocument (same behavior as before, just without the duplicate docTitle variable).

Yeah I had the same concern at first actually, raised it in the issue discussion. But after getting feedback from @virgile-dev and @cyberbaloo ( I dont knoy if you saw them ? ), the take was that emojis in document titles should be treated as decorative since the title text should already be self-explanatory. Wdyt?

Just reopening this thread 🙂

The leading emoji is already treated as a document icon in the product (DocIcon, add/remove icon, updateDocEmoji), not really as free-form title text. And if someone puts an emoji elsewhere in the title, it still gets announced.

Happy to keep discussing if you still feel unsure about it!

I am still quite sure that this pull request and the issue are not legit, but i will not fight about it.

It is emoji added by users, we cannot control what users are doing with the meaning of the emoji that they add, it is different that a emoji in a button:

If users classify their docs in this way (by example students name that are admit or not), now it is impossible to know the meaning of the title with assistive technologie:

  • ❌ Dupond Francois
  • ❌ Fremont Claude
  • ✅ Sarah Tutu
