Language evolution
Four improvements worth exploring.
Server-rendered, indexable content. Each card is a stable ZSS component with its own region, parts, and instance ID.
URI extension
Parse and work with URLs through built-in RFC 3986 and WHATWG-aware APIs.

One root. Every component.
Change the display preferences, navigate the accessible tabs, and ping the PHP JSON endpoint. All visuals inherit semantic CSS tokens.
Workbench topic tabs
Semantic composition, not brittle selectors.
The ZSS hierarchy is Hook → Block → Region → Component → Part. A single palette change updates the page, cards, buttons, borders, focus rings, code decoration, and surfaces together.

PHP compiles the allowed JSON tokens.
Any component using var(--z-primary) updates without knowing which theme or vision profile is active.
:root {
--z-space-unit: .25rem;
--z-s4: calc(var(--z-space-unit) * 4);
--z-radius-card: 1.5rem;
--z-primary: #2449BC;
}
[data-z-component="button"] {
background: var(--z-primary);
color: var(--z-on-primary);
border-radius: var(--z-radius-control);
}Keyboard and assistive technology first.
These tabs use the WAI-ARIA tabs pattern when JavaScript is available. Without JavaScript, their links simply navigate to visible content sections.
- Tab reaches the active tab, then its panel.
- ← / → changes tabs; Home / End jump to the first / last tab.
- Enter / Space activate a focused tab.
- Focus rings, a skip link, reduced motion, clear labels, and OS forced-colors support are included.
