[Athen] Fwd: [EXTERNAL] Re: [ITACCESS] LaTex and Accessibility - I need some help

[Heather Mariger]

Greetings,

I have had a couple of requests to share my compilation document from all
of the great responses that you shared with me. So, here is my Accessible
Equation Research Document
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WukikfZdXMOLJMbAy2kojLS0Jm4L7BW8dwssH6JAW2w/edit#>
.

I hope it is helpful. Feel free to use or comment as you see fit.

Thanks,
H.

I just wanted to thank you all for your generous responses and help
with this question. I am compiling a document with all of your suggestions
and comments and will share it with the instructor so we can figure out
where to go from here.

Thank you again,
H.
