Forwarding this question for a friend: How are you addressing making equations accessible? Is anyone using MathML? I had a question from one of my webmasters: They usually scan equations from newletters & journals that their scientists publish in, and need help knowing how to write the alt tags correctly. Should the alt tags "read" out the way you would read the equation aloud or use standard scientific shorthand. For instance: "little d sub j equals capital D capital R sub j times the summation over i equals 1 to capital M of capital P times little m sub i times little s sub i" or "d_j = DR_j SUM (over i=1,M) of Pm_i s_i" I know this is what MathML is for, but I'm not sure how supported or accessible it is. Suggestions? Thanks! Michele Duell michele_duell@teamsignal.com
