[Blindmath] MathJax rendering

[derek riemer]

Hi,
In the future, many screen readers probably will soon be able to 
announce mathjax rendering out-of-the-box. For now, users will need to 
right click equations, then press ctrl+end to go to the end of the 
doccument, and then arrow up until they find the math settings or 
something like that. The graphics with la-tex are not one of the options 
under math renderers, which makes me wonder if mathjax supports this. 
This was tested with a document created by mathtype. There may be a way 
to tweek mathjax to do this by default, please consult mathjax 
documentation for more details. Otherwise, use mathml by default. For 
nvda users who have downloaded mathplayer from design science, mathml 
reading is now as easy as opening up firefox or internet explorer, and 
reading math on a mathml aware webpage. I think jaws will soon be on the 
same page, if it isn't already. For now, the la tex graphics work, but 
are a bit ugly if one doesn't have a braille display. I am not sure how 
wikipedia is doing this though.
