WYSIWYG editor is difficult for sight-impaired users

      Description

      Several pages use a JavaScript WYSIWYG editor for entering text. These are notoriously difficult for blind people.

      Why it matters

      The Moodle WYSIWYG presents blind users with a large table of unlabeled and inaccessible (e.g., no "alt" attributes) images and form controls. The best case for a blind user is some wasted time figuring out they're in a WYSIWYG editor and then exiting it.

      Possible solution

      WYSIWYG should be turned off by default.
