About This Accessibility Rule
Ensures the complementary landmark or aside is at top level.
Complementary content is content that supports the primary idea of a page or document. Users of screen readers have the option to bypass supplemental content that shows at the accessibility API’s top level. Embedding an <aside> element within another landmark may prevent the ability for screen reader users to browse through supplemental content.
What this Accessibility Rule Checks
Do not insert <aside> elements or elements containing role="complementary" inside landmark-marked content.
