Here&#39;s what I&#39;ve learned about generating accessible PDFs with LaTeX! ...especially for any American academics at public universities whose materials need to meet accessibility requirements starting April 24, 2026. :) https://www.carloangiuli.com/pages/accessible-latex.html

As you might have guessed, meeting the requirements is not quite the same as actually making one's mathematics very accessible. I'm interested in figuring out how to actually do the latter by instrumenting my macros to generate helpful alt text, but that project will have to wait a few months.

@carloangiuli WOW. I did not know about luamml but that sounds amazing.

@carloangiuli This sounds... hopeful. I'm blind and live in a constant rage at not having access to published maths. This might change the situation, hoepfully.

@carloangiuli yeah, PDF 2.0 isn’t going to fly. At all.
