Hi Ihor and all, thank you for recognizing the need to improve accessibility. I am currently working on various Tex documents, both correct and incorrect, to showcase correct behavior, but I think showcasing incorrect behavior is even more important. PDF is a nasty format, full of quirks which can even surprise experts, as tools do not find it. Only screen readers users can.
