[Blindmath] LaTeX to MathML

[John Gardner]

Thanks for the update Jonathan. Too bad. Why is it that we so often have a decently accessible solution only to have it taken away when the app is updated by people who seem to know nothing about accessibility?

Maybe it is time for a new tutorial article - by you??

John

Hi John,

Unfortunately this mode of conversion is no longer as useful as it was under miktex2.8 where tex4ht was more fully supported.

Under the current version 2.9, the ability to convert math expressions into anything other than an unlabelled graphic is supposedly possible, but proves very difficult to set up properly. In my discussions with everyone I've met using 2.9 and supposedly generating the MathML cannot explain to me what extra steps I need to get this working again.

Miktex2.8 is no longer supported so practically everyone will have upgraded to 2.9 and therefore lost that wonderful tool.

I'd love to see it sorted out. The major advantage of tex4ht over the other suggestions offered is that it could handle the user defined functions I mentioned in my last post as it operated at the right level in the compilation process to get so many things right. I still use tex4ht to generate html files, but the math content advantage is lost, so I now only use it for content that has very little Greek and equations.

Jonathan

Hi, see the tutorial written by Michael Whapples on converting LaTeXD to HTML+MathML at:

Hi all,
  Is there a way to convert large files from LaTeX to MathML or some other more user friendly format? What I have in mind right now is the texts from arxiv.org, but it could be generalized, I suppose.
  So far I have used Pandoc to turn .tex to markdown; however, it does not affect the math equations, only allowing for smoother reading of the normal text.
TIA,
Dzhovani
