Icon and filesize on links to media items

We have recently had an accessibility audit and were told to add filesizes to all links to files. Is it possible to automatically add filetype icons and filesizes to media links.

For example, if an editor was to create a link to a pdf icon in the rich text editor the system would add a pdf icon and the file size automatically to the end of the link

Thanks

never heard that one before, indicating filtype yes, but not size!

adding a pdf icon wouldn't really help screen readers, you should probably just append the word PDF to the link title.

Hi Balram,

This is an example of how we display our links to documents

@{
    foreach (var upd in updates)
    {
        var linkurl = ((Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedContentWrapped)upd.Value("document")).Url;
        var filesize = ((Umbraco.Web.PublishedModels.File)((Umbraco.Core.Models.MediaWithCrops)((Umbraco.Core.Models.PublishedContent.PublishedContentWrapped)upd.Value("document"))).MediaItem).UmbracoBytes / 1024;
        DateTime issuedDate = upd.Value<DateTime>("issued");
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <div>
                    <div><strong>Reference:</strong> @upd.Value("title")<br><strong>Issued:</strong> @issuedDate.Date.ToString("MMM yyyy")<br><strong>Description:</strong> @upd.Value("description")</div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div id="Contentplaceholder1_C650_Col01" class="sf_colsIn col-md-6" data-sf-element="Column 2" data-placeholder-label="Column 2">
                <div>
                    <div class="media">
                        <div class="media-left">
                            <span class="fa-stack fa-2x">

                                <span class="fa fa-stack-1x" style="color:red;">
                                    <span style="font-family:'Gill Sans', 'Gill Sans MT', Calibri, 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; height:26px;font-size:0.5em;margin-top:20px; margin-left:30px;background-color:red;color:#fff;padding-left:8px;padding-right:8px;">

        </div>
        <hr />
    }
