[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Collections Browse Error in Public Interface, v2.2.1

[Leilani Dawson]

Yes, all of our accessibility-wrapped diacritics are in html tags.

(Occasionally we have notes where words labeled with alternate text are
nested within EAD elements such as <title> or <persname> or the like, but
those EAD elements are not as critical for us as the <span> with aria-label
attribute.)

I'll ask our IT folks to put together a 2.2 test instance so I can upload a
finding aid with diacritics and see whether the new PUI handles it in a
screen-reader-friendly manner.

Thanks,
-Leilani
