For one example of a texinfo doc using Mathjax, see
https://maxima.common-lisp.dev/.  In particular, you can look at
https://maxima.common-lisp.dev/docs/maxima_79.html.  A maxima user (who
might be blind?) says that the MathJax-enabled formulas work really well
with a screen reader.  Mathjax appears to support accessibility well.

I don't have lynx and actually have no interest in using a text-only
browser.
