Ah, very good, so my maths teacher should be able to help me by looking
at the latex file I'm working on, but I guess if that fails I could
always just generate a pdf.

Fair enough

That's logical

I will probably just have emacspeak running in the background to speed
me up, but will be using the display in perhaps computer braille, so I
can read my on screen maths book (brf file).

But I would normally use UEB, but for coding like exercises,
eg. programming, computer braille (8-dot braille), proves to be best.

UEB.

Thanks for your reply, it's very helpful, as you seam to be very
knowledgeable in this field.
