[nfbcs] latex benefits

[Greg Kearney]

LaTex is a complex document processing and typesetting application that is uniquely suited for blind users in my opinion. While the learning curve is steep the results you will get out of LaTex and it's parent TeX are without equal in quality.

It is perfectly possible to generate database diagrams, math expression or even music scores in LaTeX/TeX. There are addin modules to do all that and more. IT is suited for blind users because it is a code based system in which one composes the work in a text editor and then processes the code to generate the PDF typeset file.

I have used LaTex since the 1970's and it has never failed me yet. HArd to learn but well worth the effort.
