Hi Don,
Does any of this stuff add accessibility tags to PDF?

Thanks.

I use a wrapper product called markup-binder, which makes a binder of
documentation on a tree of structured text to create a vinder.  It uses
pandoc to convert the mark-down text files to generate an HTML 'site'.
Information is available at:
www.a-technic.net/MarkupBinder/docs/Manual

I use it in Vinux, which is a distrobution for the blind and visually
Impaired.  It is available at vinux.org.uk.  markup-binder is a package in
Vinux.  Pandoc is available in the same manner from Ubuntu and Debian
repositories.

To install MarkupBinder in Vinux do the following:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install markup-binder

There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real
substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working
on things that matter.
