Checks that links in text blocks are visually distinguishable

Solution

Links within text blocks must be distinguishable by more than just color (for color-blind users). Use underlines, bold, borders, or other visual indicators. Exception: Links can rely on color alone if the contrast ratio between link and surrounding text is at least 3:1 and you provide additional cues on hover/focus.
