+Accessibility in documentation
+==============================
+
+See :doc:`/internals/contributing/writing-code/accessibility` for our project guidelines. For documentation
+specifically, guide readers to use accessible patterns.
+
+* Include enough code so examples are accessible by default. For example:
+
+ * :class:`django.forms.ImageField` usage should
+ acknowledge the need for alt text.
+ * :class:`django.forms.URLField` to create an HTML link should
+ provision for link text.
+ * ```` elements must have a ``lang`` attribute.
+ * ``![]()
`` elements must have an ``alt`` attribute, set with an appropriate
+ description or left empty for decorative images.
+
+* When there are multiple ways to achieve a result, make sure the accessible
+ option is the most prominent. For example:
+
+ * Forms should showcase use of :meth:`.Form.as_div` over alternatives.
+ * :class:`django.core.paginator.Paginator` examples should
+ demonstrate pagination links before “Load more” patterns.
+
+* Document common accessibility considerations. For example:
+
+ * When creating or storing documents such as :doc:`/howto/outputting-pdf`,
+ mention the need for accessible alternatives.
+ * For operations with timeouts, mention `relevant accessibility guidelines `_.
+
+* Use appropriate semantic HTML elements and attributes. For example:
+
+ * Use headings instead of bold text.
+ * Add landmark elements where needed.
+ * Only use ARIA attributes if there are no alternatives.
