Fixes #1258.

Description

This PR makes images and the lightbox modal fully keyboard-accessible and WCAG-compliant:

  1. Accessible Trigger: Wraps Markdown images in a native <button type="button" class="md__image-trigger"> with aria-label="Expand image: <alt>", bringing native keyboard focus and Enter/Space activation.
  2. Build Safety: Guards WebP processing with reflect.IsImageResourceProcessable so SVG, GIF, and external images don't fail the Hugo build.
  3. Focus Management:
    • Moves focus to the close button upon opening the modal.
    • Traps Tab and Shift+Tab focus within the modal dialog while open.
    • Restores focus to the triggering element (or raw image fallback) upon modal close.
    • Closes on Escape key and background overlay click.
  4. Valid HTML Nesting: Unwraps triggers inside anchor links (<a>) so interactive elements are not nested inside links.
  5. Visible Focus: Added :focus-visible indicators for both the trigger button and the close button.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Image previews can be opened from supported images and Markdown image triggers. Linked images remain navigable without opening the preview.
    • The preview supports keyboard navigation, Escape to close, and focus return to the image after closing.
    • Images that cannot be converted to WebP still display using a standard image fallback.
  • Accessibility
    • Added visible keyboard-focus indicators and accessible dialog and close-button semantics.
    • Clicking the overlay closes the preview; clicking inside it does not.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Markdown image rendering now uses button triggers and checks image processability before WebP conversion. The modal adds dialog semantics, focus management, keyboard handling, and updated click behavior.

Changes

Image Modal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Render and style image triggers
layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html, assets/scss/_image-modal_project.scss
The template checks image processability before WebP conversion. Both rendering paths place the image in a button trigger with an accessible label. The trigger styles reset native button appearance and show a focus outline.
Open, close, and manage modal focus
layouts/partials/image-modal.html
The modal declares dialog semantics. openModal resolves image targets, sets the modal image source and alt text, and focuses the close button. closeModal clears the image and restores focus when possible.
Wire triggers and keyboard interaction
layouts/partials/image-modal.html, assets/scss/_image-modal_project.scss
Tab and Shift+Tab remain within the open modal, and Escape closes it. Trigger setup excludes images inside links from modal handling. Only clicks on the overlay itself close the modal. The close button receives a focus outline. The close icon declaration now ends with a semicolon.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 15fbf

Linked images retain invalid nested interactive markup until the page script runs, or indefinitely without scripts. This is a bounded accessibility concern that should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Explanation

The WebP processing and fallback-rendering changes in render-image.html address Hugo image-resource processing. Issue #1258 requires keyboard operation and modal focus management. The Hugo processing behavior has no direct connection to those requirements and is outside the linked issue scope.

Keep linked-image triggers out of the tab order until classification.

Both rendering branches emit a focusable .md__image-trigger. Add disabled to both buttons. In the existing DOMContentLoaded handler, enable only standalone triggers before registering their click listener. Linked triggers then remain non-focusable while loading and when JavaScript is unavailable, while standalone triggers retain keyboard modal activation.

Suggested fix
-  <button type="button" class="md__image-trigger" aria-label="Expand image{{ with $alt }}: {{ . }}{{ end }}">
+  <button type="button" class="md__image-trigger" disabled aria-label="Expand image{{ with $alt }}: {{ . }}{{ end }}">

     trigger.remove();
     return;
   }

+  trigger.disabled = false;
   trigger.addEventListener("click", function (event) {

This fixes the keyboard focus issue. It does not remove the nested <button> from the rendered markup, so assess the separate HTML-conformance concern independently.
