"Perhaps inevitably, some of the advice in Books without barriers contradicts that in other guides. "For example, the advice on quote marks differs from that of the Australian Government style manual. Remember, it is perfectly acceptable to vary from your preferred guide if there is a good reason for doing so. Clients are often receptive to ideas for accessibility improvements as long as they know why they are required, so don’t be afraid to ask.
