Images of Text in Tables Are Used Instead of Semantic Table Markup on the Support Page

Many tables on the page are presented as images with inadequate alt-text. The tables should be coded in the proper semantic HTML. For example:

- In the section entitled “Create fractions in linear formats,” the following image contains the alt-text “Create fractions in linear” which is inadequate to enable a screen reader to understand how to create fractions in UnicodeMath and LaTeX format: Image of a table showing the steps to create a fraction in Unicode and LaTeX formats. The first row, for UnicodeMath, shows that the input of a/(b plus c) shows a stacked fraction with a in the numerator and (b plus c) in the denominator. The second example, for LaTeX format, shows that the input to produce the same fraction is \frac{a}{b plus c}.

- In the section entitled “LaTeX equation editing examples”, the following table is included as one large image with the alt-text: “Table showing LaTeX Equation examples” which does not provide a screen reader user any instructional information on how to type mathematical expressions with LaTeX in Word.

Start at the Support page sections “Create fractions in linear formats” and “LaTeX equation editing examples,” locating the two image-based tables and their current alt-text. Replace the table images with semantic HTML tables that preserve the instructional examples and can be understood by screen readers; done means both sections expose their table content without relying on images.
