Math formulas rendered as images cause accessibility issues
Problem
The article renders all mathematical expressions as images inside iframes, preventing screen readers from accessing them and hindering the experience of visually impaired users.
Pain points
- Mathematical formulas rendered as images inside iframes hinder screen reader access
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to pay for more accessible math rendering?
- Which math expression format do you prefer (e.g., KaTeX, MathML, SVG)?
- Do these images affect your reading of other article content?
Evidence

I'm used to seeing plenty of screen reader inaccessible math around the web (fortunately less so these days than in the past), but every math expression being represented by a bunch of images nested inside an iframe is a new one for me.What the hell?
