Images of Text in Tables Are Used Instead of Semantic Table Markup on the Support Page #54

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.
