MathJax

Bluebook implements MathJax technology to:

• Display mathematical content, such as expressions, equations, and inequalities elegantly in browsers.
• Provide students who use screen readers access to off-screen accessible MathML and Nemeth braille support with refreshable braille displays.
• Access a variety of accessibility features via menus attached to the MathJax content to assist students with low vision and students that need highlighted rendering.

MathJax objects within Bluebook exams are custom-configured to function with all mainstream text-to-speech and screen-reading assistive technologies across all supported operating systems. This custom configuration ensures that all mainstream assistive technologies will read the textual alternatives without additional configurations.

Optional MathJax configurations (UEB Support) 

Some students may prefer to navigate complex math equations and math expressions with math viewers or plug-ins like MathCAT with personal screen readers like JAWS and NVDA. 

To explore MathML content, you can press Alt + M (Windows and Chromebook) or Option + M (Mac and iOS) to turn graphic mode on/off. When graphic mode is turned off, students can access the MathML and choose UEB or Nemeth from MathCat.

Alternatively, hidden MathML can be enabled via the MathJax context menu via Options > Include Hidden MathML. 

NOTE: This action can be set once at the start of an exam, and it will persist throughout the duration. The student may press Alt + M (Option + M) again to revert to the default “graphic mode on” configuration or by activating Reset to defaults within the MathJax Settings (context menu).
