[BlindMath] Accessible LaTeX Editors

[Abdulqadir Ahmad]

Hi Dana,

I'll suggest you use the editor you use for writing codes. I'm guessing 
that will be vs code. If yes, then get a plugin for LaTeX. What you're 
looking for is an lsp and code completion. I'm guessing vs code comes 
with code completion by default, you just need to figure out how to make 
it work for latex. The lsp will help you find errors in your LaTeX file.

I couldn't find a way to preview LaTeX in a way that was accessible. So, 
what I do is: I have a piece of code that compiles the LaTeX document to 
html using `make4ht` automatically on save. I also mapped it to a key so 
I can hit the key when I want to compile it explicitly.

The code I wrote was specific to my code editor (neovim), so I can't 
share it with you. But you can ask an AI, preferably a coding agent to 
write it for you.

Lastly, you can use a coding agent to convert your markdown file to 
LaTeX file. If you give it a specific instruction like: focus on using 
the template <template_name> and do not change the file, it will do an 
excellent job. If the file is very large, you can make it reduce it into 
small chunks.

I hope the reply isn't too detailed.

With best wishes,

Abdulqadir Ahmad
