latex

[Lawrence Baggett]

I have used tex and latex for 25 years, and I think it is the best, if not 
the only, way to handle complicated mathematics as a blind person.  Once 
you learn the code, you can prepare mathematical notation to be printed 
beautifully, and yu also can "read" other people's mathematics.

Chris is right about the latex2rtf program being helpful.  I had an 
experience in which I was running latex2rtf on my file and shipping it off 
to an editor.  She would work on it and run rtf2latex, and send it back to 
me. You won't be surprised to learn that concatenating those two programs 
did produce some trouble.  The mathematics didn't always come back in 
proper latex code.
