The solution to inaccessible documentation can be as simple and low-tech as making a better index… With proper indexing, ten per cent more effort will double the accessibility of information.
Why index?
A well-crafted, interactive A–Z index provides an alphabetical collection of links to topics, concepts, and relevant names and places within a document. As such, it provides a way of navigating content that other methods, such as tables of contents, bookmarks or even full text search cannot. Nevertheless, indexes remain perhaps the best kept secret of accessible document navigation.
