[Blindmath] converting a textbook in LaTeX to MathML

Thanks everyone!

A whole textbook split into smaller chunks is kinda like a collection of
documents, no? 

I'm not sure what you mean about macros. Are macros used to create LaTeX?

Central Washington University people are awesome! They are the folks who
trained us. 

Cheers,
Tara

You may want to reach out to Central Washington University:
https://www.cwu.edu/central-access/

Their Central Access Toolbar works with Infty Editor to remove all the
hijinks going on in the background and make an accessible Math textbook in
HTML. They also have the Central Access Reader for those without TTS
capabilities. 

Can also convert to Nemeth Braille on the fly after converting. 

Best, 

Joshua

That's true. You could try TeX4HT, which should give better results when
converting from LaTeX than Pandoc does.
