Is this using images for math? Can it use Mathjax for math? Mathjax has nice accessibility tools that is very good for reading math.

Yup, this was my first thought. I think the generated page looks great but it definitely has a11y problems.

Yeah, it would be nicer if it used MathML (via Mathjax or other means).

  • I prefer SVG images with alt text for the original LaTeX equation.

    MathML has terrible browser support [1] and often results in inconsistently rendered, ugly equations.

    MathJax and KaTeX are nice but sometimes I prefer not to have JavaScript for these things that ought to be static.
