Redundant title text in TOC

    In a private function of the plugin, the link is generated with a title identical to the link’s name. This causes an accessibility warning regarding “redundant title text” (see: WebAIM article).

    Please remove the title attribute or consider adding a function that allows for an additional, more meaningful value.

    Sure. It’s basically quite simple.

    The table of contents generates the correct links with anchor points. However, the title attributes in the links are identical to the link texts. This is not ideal for accessibility, https://webaim.org/articles/gonewild/#title.

    See https://collection.cloudinary.com/cmscdn/e98c587d090bee681bdb028d7a2df971

    The simplest and probably best solution would be not to use titles at all. Otherwise, the option would be to provide additional helpful content solely within the title attribute.
