[Blindmath] answer about LaTeX to html

[Russell Solowoniuk]

Hi Mathieu,

Assuming one could obtain a math or physics textbook in LaTeX format, would it be possible to run the textbook file through Pandoc and end up with a screen reader accessible version of the text? Or, would a lot of editing need to be done before using Pandoc, i.e. removing images, diagrams, etc.?

Thanks,

Russell

Hi all,

pandoc is a good solution to convert math.

Pandoc can convert markdown to html with mathml or mathjax.
For instance :

code markdown :

% My title
% My name
% 16 Feb 2017

# My equation and level 1

This is a sum :

$\sum_{i=0}^n i^2$

End markdown code

type in the command line :

pandoc -s --mathml source.markdown -o out.html

if you want mathjax instead of mathml, replace --mathml by --mathjax!

If you have LaTeX source you also convert in html web page.
however, if tex source contains specials commands, there may be errors.

command line :

pandoc -s --mathml source.tex -o out.html

The -s option ask to pandoc to generate header before your texte.
