[BlindMath] Chemical formulae on websites

[Niels Luithardt]

Hello Steve,
Thank you for your answer!
I still have one question on the subject: What about chemical
structural formulae, e.g. the ring structure of benzene? These
formulas are non-linear; can such formulas be displayed well for
screen readers?
And what about ChemML? Or is it better to stay with MathML?
Many thanks and best regards
Niels Luithardt
