Math equations in RISE
What are your recommendations for creating accessible math equations in RISE content? We need these to be accessible to students using screenreaders. Can we input MathJax/ML etc into RISE? Or is the only option to add each equation as an image with alt text description or maybe create a Word document with these equations, both of which are very time consuming. Please advise as we'd like to continue building in RISE, but need to ensure that these are accessible for users.
Hello everyone, 🎉
I’m happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360. This update adds the following feature:
- Build math equations using LaTeX syntax and revise them by adding color and alt text.
There’s nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to publish your Rise 360 course again.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update or the new feature.

Would also like this feature to be added. At the moment we are adding in images of LaTex formulas, but then we have accessibility issues, which is not ideal...
Also waiting on accessible math equation editor in Articulate products.
We also need accessible math equation editor in Rise and Storyline.
Are there any actual plans for a LaTex style editor to ever be part of Rise?
With Articulate's seeming commitment to accessibility, it's stunning to me that in 2023 there's still no viable math equation tool in Rise. This thread has been active for literally years.
Accessible math is legally required by U.S. federal guidelines for public/state institutions, so it's imperative for Articulate to resolve this ASAP.I was able to get equations in my Rise course by using inline images, here I show you how to screenshot results from MathJax. The html used in the screen recording:
<img style="display:inline-block;height: 2.8em;vertical-align: middle;" src="replacewithdata">
and url for converting image to inline data-
Nice one, I was doing something similar by uploading the image as a file then using the url from that. But uri is better as it still works when a course is copied over.
Right on, if you insert a url (even a rise/articulate url) it creates an external dependency on that file (which could become blocked by a strict LMS, or the file could disappear eventually). This ensures it becomes part of the export.
Adding the same request: We'd love a math equation editor feature in Rise!
Hi Alexa!
Thanks for sharing the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Rise 360!
I've included you in the feature report and will update this discussion if it makes it onto our Feature Roadmap.
Have a great week!
Any news on the addition of math equation feature?
Hello Carrie,
I have no updates to share yet, but we'll update this discussion once the Math equation feature is available, and you will be among the first to know!
WE REALLY NEED A MATH EQUATION EDITOR. Please and Thank You.
