using pdfT E X
Ross R. Moore · 2009
Recently PDF has been accepted as a standard for produc- tion of electronic documents, as ISO 32000-1:2008, with an acronym of PDF/UA (for Universal Accessibility). The second draft ISO 32000- 2:2009 is to include specifications for including MathML tagging of math- ematical environments and expressions. This talk presents a report on work-in-progress, aimed at: (a) developing the primitive commands for pdfTEX needed to support the production of fully tagged PDF documents; (b) writing appropriate TEX and LATEX macros to make eective use of the new primitives; (c) authoring changes to internal LATEX structures to use these macros automatically at appropriate places within the existing code-base for LATEX. This is work that is being undertaken together with Han The Thanh, author of pdfTEX (2), who has added some new primitive commands to an experimental version of this software tool.
