What does ATAG focus on in accessibility?

The correct focus of the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) is on the editing experience with authoring tools. ATAG provides standards and recommendations aimed at improving the accessibility of tools that content creators use to produce web content. The guidelines emphasize how these tools can be designed to ensure that their user interfaces are accessible, allowing individuals with disabilities to create web content that is also accessible.

By prioritizing the authoring experience, ATAG helps developers create tools that not only support accessibility features but also guide authors toward creating content that meets accessibility standards. This ensures a smoother workflow for users who may have disabilities, enabling them to produce content that is inclusive and usable for all end-users.

This focus is crucial because it directly impacts the usability of the content created and influences how effectively accessibility practices can be implemented from the start of the content creation process.
