Rise and Mathematical symbols/characters

Mar 10, 2022

I am trying to create an OER Rise course as an interactive textbook for a calculus course. Unfortunately, many of the equations cannot be placed in Rise, as Rise doesn't seem to support any alphanumeric symbols or characters beyond things like superscript and subscript. This means I have to screen capture and import them as images.

HOWEVER, this is a huge accessibility no-no, as screen readers cannot read images. And of course, I cannot use alt text because I still cannot use the special symbols and characters. Is there a way to insert mathematical symbols and characters into Rise?
