True. The alt text in my case contains the LaTeX which contains all the information to define the equation. But you're right that a standard like MathML would allow for other surfaces like Braille.
- extra88 3y agoMathJax can generate MathML from Latex and all modern browsers render MathML now.
- omaranto 3y agoWoah! Chrome finally added support for MathML! I had no idea, apparently it landed in January of this year.
- gofixurcode 3y agoThe way I have it set up in my use case is that if you click on the equation it switches to a brief description of what the equation is doing. Pretty useful for quickly parsing it for someone unfamiliar.
- teleforce 3y agoCheck out Pretext, it's write once, read anywhere software package that supports cross platform publication output including Braille [1],[2]. It's a very powerful authoring and publication system, for example if you're writing an interactive Math book, you could use <sage/> blocks to specify language e.g. Python, write around code blocks, providing references to equations, etc [3]. Fun facts, PreTeXt was originally called MathBook XML thus it has robust support for mathematical formulas [4],[5]. Last but not least, don't let XML being used in Pretext scared you off since XML is great for markup language and anything todo with publication online, printed, Braille, etc [6].
