Hello,<br>
<br>
Just a quick note since I was curious and had a look: I don't have full test software here at home but from what I could see from unzipping the EPub and looking at the source code the equations are stored as images (png) and are included in the EPub without
alternative text. This means that the images won't scale well (may also align badly and will reflow badly) and there is nothing to be read aloud.
<br>
<br>
This is about as far away from good practice as they can get (MathML with SVG and MathSpeak fallback in EPub3
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.idpf.org/accessibility/guidelines/content/mathml/desc.php">
http://www.idpf.org/accessibility/guidelines/content/mathml/desc.php</a>). I didn't try anything beyond that... I would be wondering about other more complex structural elements though.
<br>

<div>As of recently it looks like Google Docs now has the option to export to Epub format. I am wondering what people think about the benefits of this and recommendations? </div>
