## Improved Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) compliance
## Accessibility Improvements

Improving the accessibility of Jupyter had long been impeded by significant obstacles. The primary obstacle was that the text editor underlying the Jupyter Notebook (CodeMirror 5) had major accessibility issues.

Fortunately, this accessibility bottleneck has been unblocked as JupyterLab has been upgraded to use CodeMirror 6, a complete rewrite of the text editor with a strong focus on accessibility. Although this upgrade required extensive codebase modifications, the changes is available with JupyterLab 4. By being built on top of JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook 7 directly benefits from the CodeMirror 6 upgrade.
