Lists of articles a11y improvements

[StephDriver]

Journals may have long lists of articles under each issue, and when searching a journal, a long list of articles may be returned. In both instances, this is difficult to navigate. There is nothing to indicate how many items are in the list, nor how far down the list you are when scrolling (other than the window's scroll bars).

This is a particular issue when visiting on a smartphone as the list can take a large number of screens to scroll through. for example OLH theme home page example

Similarly, if navigating by keyboard, that's a lot of tabbing.

Consider:

• pagination.
• search results indicating how many articles have been found.
• An A..Z set of skip to links to jump down the list
• or a way to further filter results without performing the search again, e.g. listing them by issue?

For clarification I think this is the issue element in homepage elements. The templates used are these:

• issue_block.html
• box_article.html

The problem is with user content for the example linked. Short-term change:

• Update the Edit page for this homepage element with a warning about issues with a lot of articles being unusable.

As for the search list, that's a separate issue of a URL sending users to search rather than articles.

• @joemull to add a separate issue about that and add it to the phase 1 a11y milestone.
