[Blindmath] Malfunctioning files containing Math Type - Please help

[Neil Soiffer]

I too took a brief look. It appears that the file has had linebreaks
inserted by a program that doesn't understand HTML -- it has broken some
tag names across lines. You need to ask that they give you a version that
hasn't had that done. It is as easy for them to open the program in Firefox
as it is for you, so they should make sure that whatever file they give
opens without error in Firefox.

Good luck,

Neil Soiffer
