 - `<a>`s don't support the `disabled` attribute, so you must add the `.disabled` class to make it visually appear disabled.
 - Some future-friendly styles are included to disable all `pointer-events` on anchor buttons.

-The `.disabled` class uses `pointer-events: none` to try to disable the link functionality of `<a>`s, but that CSS property is not yet standardized. In addition, even in browsers that do support `pointer-events: none`, keyboard navigation remains unaffected, meaning that sighted keyboard users and users of assistive technologies will still be able to activate these links. So to be safe, in addition to `aria-disabled="true"`, also include a `tabindex="-1"` attribute on these links to prevent them from receiving keyboard focus, and use custom JavaScript to disable their functionality altogether.

-The `.pe-none` class (and the `pointer-events` CSS property it sets) only prevents interactions with a pointer (mouse, stylus, touch). Links and controls with `.pe-none` are, by default, still focusable and actionable for keyboard users. To ensure that they are completely neutralized even for keyboard users, you may need to add further attributes such as `tabindex="-1"` (to prevent them from receiving keyboard focus) and `aria-disabled="true"` (to convey the fact they are effectively disabled to assistive technologies), and possibly use JavaScript to completely prevent them from being actionable. For form controls, consider using the `disabled` HTML attribute instead.
