[NTG-context] Re: Tagging Math

Yes, no rush at all. I think the best and most consistent way to currently provide accessibility is to replace all math by what the tracker/placenote ‘magically’ produces. So at the end of the day there would be two documents, one with 1+1 =2 and one with one plus one equals two As for images, I can use modes to accomplish that. The accessible PDF would contain text only. There are other things to worry about at some point like indices, hyperlinks, tables. Matthias

Any document I want to make available to my students needs to be “compliant” by April 2026. Nobody knows what that exactly means or how this will be tested. I strongly support providing accessibility in addition to what I want my students to use.

ok, so we have some time to see how things evolve and adapt

The best way(while waiting) seems to be to provide two documents, where the accessible version replaces all images with text that I write, and all formulas with the text that Mikael’s example produces. So my question is just this: how do I make that automatic: have all formulas replaced by a text that reads like a spoken formula?

checking: you mean in the typeset text?

concerning images, we can make some mechanism for that: adding more elaborate descriptions (alongside images, or in files) and some mode control
