[nfbcs] Another option to learning LaTeX

[Schroeder, Cathy]

Another option for creating documents that blind people can easily use is using HTML and CSS.  Most platforms support HTML and you can do a lot with the CSS formatting.  There are lots of manuals on HTML or you could take a course thru CAVI, Cisco Academy for the Visually Impaired over the internet.

I use MiKTeX (http://miktex.org/download) with TeXnicCenter
(www.texniccenter.org/download/). You might have to use the JAWS cursor
sometimes in TeXnicCenter, but, besides that, it works quite well with JAWS.
You can get both of these at http://www.tug.org/protext/. A resource for
LaTeX information is
http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/LaTeX:About. Also,
TeXnicCenter has menus for choosing and inserting math symbols. Out of
curiosity, what did you use before?

Subject: [nfbcs] Question on learning LaTeX

Dear Members,
My name is ali. i have recently joined University of Maryland Baltimore
County for a PhD program in Human Centered Computing. Since I have a
background in computer science, I found being a member of this group very
helpful. Actually I have decided to learn LaTeX for developing my academic
papers and documents. I have not experienced this tool before and I have
always tried to work with Word. many peple have suggested me it is the time
to shift to LaTeX because it helps me do things much more in my control. Now
I have the following questions:
1. What tool which is accessible enough to my screen reader do you suggest
to download and start writing composing documents? I am mostly using NVDA
and Jaws.
2. Is there any suggestions on good documentation to start learning?

I have rather good programming experience before so i think I can learn this
sort of scripting document with less difficulty.
I would be more than happy to receive your feedback.
Ali
