In order to improve accessibility, the first step is to make sure that HTML produced by WikiToLearn is valid:

As valid code does not mean accessible code, other tools can be used in order to highlight accessibility issues:

On the next level, it would be good to ask some feedback from people with disabilities, e.g. screen reader users.
