Abstract

Mathematics support on the web is currently very limited mainly due to the lack of browser support for the dedicated markup language MathML. While for visual display JavaScript libraries like MathJax can ensure flawless rendering of formulas across all platforms and browsers, there currently exists no system independent assistive technology solutions for Mathematics. We report on the attempt to transform MathJax into a universal rendering solution, providing accessibility also for readers with visual, print, and motor impairments. As our goal is to integrate seamlessly with other assistive technology solutions, we are faced with a number of technical challenges to provide a consistent user experience, regardless of the particular combination of platform, browser, and screen reader employed by readers. This paper presents MathJax's accessibility features and some of the technical challenges to motivate a wish-list for future standards to enhance web accessibility for STEM content.

在MathJax中实现通用渲染
web上的数学支持目前非常有限,这主要是由于浏览器缺乏对专用标记语言MathML的支持。虽然对于可视化显示,像MathJax这样的JavaScript库可以确保在所有平台和浏览器上完美地呈现公式,但目前还没有独立于系统的数学辅助技术解决方案。我们报告了将MathJax转换为通用呈现解决方案的尝试,该解决方案还为有视觉、打印和运动障碍的读者提供可访问性。由于我们的目标是与其他辅助技术解决方案无缝集成,我们面临着许多技术挑战,以提供一致的用户体验,而不管用户使用的平台、浏览器和屏幕阅读器的特定组合如何。本文介绍了MathJax的可访问性特性和一些技术挑战,以激发未来标准的愿望清单,以增强STEM内容的web可访问性。
