¹² The guideline adherence table lists each piece of evidence linked to a guideline with a View More link. The evidence itself is printed once, at the end of the report, in the Developer Evidence Appendix and the Validator Evidence Appendix, and each link jumps to its entry there. Evidence that no longer exists in its source document is listed by name with a note that it is no longer available, so every link has a destination.
