The problem
Most table blocks skip caption and th scope, so the table fails a basic accessibility pass.
Who this WordPress plugin is for
Publishers who need real data tables in the block editor.
Accessible Table is a proposed WordPress plugin for Publishers who need real data tables in the block editor..
A block outputs table, caption, thead, and scope on header cells. It is not a spreadsheet importer and it is not ARIA Fixer — that draft repairs existing DOM.
