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  

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

To explore MathML content, you can open the Math Settings menu on any math object and select Reset to defaults or use Alt + M (Windows and Chromebook) or Option + M (Mac and iOS) to turn graphic mode on/off.

NOTE: This action must be taken on each exam question. MathJax returns to Bluebook’s automatic configuration (graphic mode On) for each new question.
