Hey,
I'm currently building a website for my Master thesis. So far, it worked great for me. To meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, I want to have the option that users can adjust the font size. I already managed that with some additional code, but now there is a new problem:
If I increase the font size, I have to scroll horizontally to read all the text. That is not great for accessibility.
For my new idea, it would be necessary to set a global font size and then define all the other font sizes in rem instead of px. Is this possible with RocketCake?
Greetings from Germany

Pages created with RocketCake nicely support the zoom function of the browser (they also adjust the layout nicely because they are 100% responsive) for accessibility.

Rem isn't supported yet, but I've received a handful requests recently for it, so I'll look into adding support for it.

Sadly, using the zoom function of the browser is not sufficient for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Thanks for looking into Rem support. So long, I will be looking for another workaround (or accept that I will not reach AAA standard).

Here's a new component I would like to see where a visitor could adjust the text.

No disrespect to RC in showing this Web Builder extension.
I have the latest version but not using it as it has over a million choices and way over the top as the learning curve is. RC is much easier. Using another program while waiting for a few more features to be added to RC.

@taichiguy that's something different, but should be easily achieveable - possibly also using a plugin.

I was referring to J's "I want to have the option that users can adjust the font size". Sorry, should have noted that.

Thanks for the consideration.
