Hi everyone,
We’re running into a challenge with making math formulas accessible in Thought Industries (TI) and I’m hoping others may have found better solutions.
Right now, the TI WYSIWYG editor doesn’t provide any native equation-editing functionality (e.g., MathJax, LaTeX support, or a built-in formula editor). We also discovered that if we paste MathXL or MathML code into the HTML editor, TI strips it out, leaving us with no accessible markup.
The only workaround we’ve found so far is to create a screenshot of the formula and then add ALT text to describe the mathematical expression. This is obviously not ideal, especially for more complex equations, and it’s not considered best practice for accessibility or for supporting all learners.
In speaking with other TI customers they have used iframes, to embed the content and this is not ideal either on multiple levels.
Has anyone found a better or more sustainable method for making math content accessible in TI?
-
Are you using external tools and embedding?
-
A custom widget or script that TI doesn’t strip out?
-
Another workaround or strategy that has worked well?
Any advice, examples, or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
