Summary description: Access to formulas in PDF files by by assistive 
technologies

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


We propose the axessibility package. PDF documents containing formulae 
generated by LaTeX are usually not accessible by assistive technologies 
for visually impaired people (i.e., by screen readers and braille 
displays). The axessibility package manages this issue, allowing to create 
a PDF document where the formulae are read by these assistive 
technologies, since it automatically generates hidden comments in the PDF 
document (by means of the /ActualText attribute) in correspondence to each 
formula.
