- Tagging in LaTeX Documenten (Dutch), MAPS 55, 2025, 89-91
keywords: Tagged PDF, PDF/UA-2, WTPDF, LaTeX, tagpdf, latex-lab, sockets, templates, toegankelijkheid, regulatory, enumitem, titlesec
abstract: In juli 2025 bezocht ik in India een workshop van het LaTeX-team over Tagged PDF. In dit artikel beschrijf ik wat ik daar leerde: waarom tagging ertoe doet, hoe tagging tegenwoordig in LaTeX werkt (met tagpdf en latex-lab, inclusief sockets en templates), welke standaarden relevant zijn (PDF 2.0, PDF/UA-2, WTPDF) en welke praktische valkuilen je in de dagelijkse praktijk tegenkomt. Tot besluit ga ik in op nuanceringen en actuele uitdagingen in de regulatory context, met name rond enumitem (lijsten) en titlesec (koppen), die de weg naar goed getagde PDF’s bemoeilijken.
