CSS-generated content is not included in the DOM. Because of this, it will not be represented in the accessibility tree and certain assistive technology/browser combinations will not announce it. If the content conveys information that is critical to understanding the page's purpose, it is better to include it in the main document.

Tangentially is defined as briefly mentioning a subject but not going into it in detail, or is defined as going off in a different direction.
in the case of
briefly mentioning a subject but not going into it in detail the topic/subject need not be related at all (it sounds like).
What about in the case fo:
is defined as going off in a different direction. Does the fact that it's going off in a different direction imply that it at least starts out connected/related to the original (starting point) subject (as it does in the geometry sense of tangential)? Or does it permit "jumping" to another topic (in another direction) without being related/connected at all??
I don't think I like this definition very much. It doesn't quite fit the sense I'm trying to use it for in my tag:
tangentially related content (aside)
Ah, here's a definition that matches what I thought it meant (one of the senses anyway): https://hyp.is/3Bn2bpZ7Eeu3Ok8vg03AVA/www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tangential
