Quarto Toolchain

1 About

Quarto is an open source STEM publishing system. It origin is in the R statistics language. Quarto produces documents in multiple formats, include HTML and PDF. It is based on Markdown. Via MathJax it has good math support. It is a strong candidate for producing accessible outputs, particular for blind users. This is a Quarto website.

2 Goals

The present intention is to focus on provide some examples of accessible Latex help, and of cheat sheets for blind students taking a math module. In these specialist areas, feedback from users is really important to ensure accessibility and other user needs. This is particularly important at the early stages.

3 Guide

The first four pages are:

• The first page of an introduction to Latex math.
• Work in progress on special keys and the Keyboard.
• An exploratory page pre-calculus page on Fractions.
• An exploratory page on Venn diagrams.
• [NEW] An exploratory page on Set theory.
• [NEW: 2023-10-31] A college algebra Cheat sheet.

4 Feedback

Comments are welcome. Here are three good ways.

• Send a message to the BlindMath mailing list.
• Raise on issue on the github project.
• Email the project owner jfine2358 @ gmail dot com.

The Blind Math list is a good resource for STEM accessibility (with a focus on math). Do consider joining that list.
