Making LaTeX Math Accessible: Tips for Inclusive Documents

Accessibility in STEM is crucial. Here's how to make your LaTeX documents accessible to all readers.

Alt Text for Formulas

Use the \\alt package or provide HTML alt attributes when embedding formulas. Describe the formula in plain language.

Semantic Markup

Use \\label and \\ref for cross-references. Screen readers can navigate structured documents better.

Color and Contrast

Ensure sufficient contrast when using colored math. Don't rely solely on color to convey meaning — add text labels or patterns.

Our Editor's Role

Our editor generates clean HTML that works with screen readers. The rendered formulas have appropriate ARIA labels.
