[Blindmath] using math on the apex

[Amanda Lacy]

Why would anyone want to print like that?! That's not how sighted people 
read math. I don't know of any blind people who read Braille math in 
words either.

Better than what prints out with the updated nemith option. I don't know how this will translate, but here goes. If you insert a parenthesis, it prints out with the word open parenthesis, or close parenthesis. If you use a superscript, the word super script appears. It reads in print much like you might hope a sighted person would read a math equation....but to me, it seems a bit much for the sighted teachers to take in! So, for example, 2(3+ x/3) would read 2 open parenthesis 3 +open fraction x fraction line 3 close fraction close parenthesis.
