RE: [EPUB 31][A11Y] Agenda for con call 20160824

Hi all,

 

Thank you again for inviting me to participate, and my sincere thanks for all the work you have all done to make epub more accessible and inclusively designed.

 

Here’s the math injector bookmarklet I mentioned on the call.

https://github.com/sinabahram/MathInjector

 

note, it also injects mathjax and such (since my goal was to make older versions of Jaws happy, but that’s no longer needed of course). It is  a quick and dirty working example of how this approach could work.

 

Take care,

Sina
