SiteBuilder release notes

We released SiteBuilder 2.456 on Monday 23^rd November 2020. In this version:

• We made accessibility improvements to the following page templates so that users of assistive technologies, such as screen readers, receive better information:
  • Blank
  • Bookings
  • Calendar
  • Contents list
  • Form
  • Forum
  • Glossary
  • News
  • Quiz
  • Researcher profile
  • Site map
• We further improved accessibility, and the information provided to screen readers, through a change to the automatic cleaning process applied to HTML. The following elements are now removed if they have no content:
  • Headings, such as <h2></h2>
  • Paragraphs: <p></p>
  • Links, such as <a href="a-link"></a>. Note that page anchors of the form <a id="anchor-name"></a> are not removed.
