Usage
For publications. Naming the people who make it is part of the form — a masthead is not decoration, it is attribution.
- Describe the typography honestly; a colophon that lies about its own type is a strange thing to ship.
- Keep the archive link visible — it is the second most used link in any publication footer.
Variants and states
Every entry below is a genuine difference in behaviour or layout, and every one of them is visible in the preview above.
- Colophon paragraph
- Masthead list
- Archive links
Accessibility
- Masthead semantics
- Contributors are a `<dl>`, pairing each role with a name.
- Colophon structure
- The colophon paragraph, masthead list and archive links are three distinct regions rather than one block of text.
Foundry implements published ARIA patterns and is tested against them. No WCAG certification is claimed — see the accessibility documentation for what is and is not covered.
