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.
