Canvas, LaTeX and MathJAX

We are servicing complaints from a number of departments about the inaccessibility of any LaTeX equations entered into the Canvas HTML page editor (and similar). The LaTeX is rendered as an inaccessible image. These departments are refusing to use Canvas because of this.

 

I wondered if anybody else has similar issues and, if so, would they join me in lobbying Instructure to add MathJax to Canvas so the LaTeX output would be accessible?

If you're following this thread you might be excited to know that Canvas now provides support for MathJax rendering of LaTeX equations, including inline and block mode equations entered using delimiters in things like page titles etc, though not in all things (e.g. the Course Chat)

This is a very big accessibility improvement that I'm very happy about!
