[Blindmath] questions about LaTeX and accessibility for blind people

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Hmmm. Both of those seem like reasonable options. I honestly think I'm
more inclined to use the alt= method simply because it doesn't require
you use Windows+Math Player+IE. Not all of us do. I am a firefox user
for example, and I'd rather use a solution that would allow as many as
possible to access it. That being said, MathML is not to be completely
discounted. What I'll probably end up doing is trying both solutions and
seeing how each works.

They say god has always been. Linux and I will now disprove that:
$ ar m God
ar: creating God
There you have it. God was created by the ar program. Good news is, God
really does exist!
