Big update to the annotated edition of G.H. Hardy's ‘A Mathematician's Apology’: the PDF is now *tagged* (plus various minor improvements).

(A contains extra semantic information to assist screen-reading software etc.)

The new version is available ( as always) at archive.org/details/hardy_anno

The LaTeX tagging system is still under development [latex3.github.io/tagging-proje], but I have been making progress in adapting my LaTeX styles to be tagging-compatible.

For the annotated ‘Apology’, I also had to re-implement a subset of the functionality of the "manyfoot" package (which is currently not tagging-compatible), because there are two different kinds of footnotes in the annotated ‘Apology’. (Hardy's original footnotes and the annotations.)

Although the PDF passes VeraPDF validation, there may of course be mistakes in the tagging. Feedback, especially from users of screen readers, would be much appreciated, especially because I now hope to add tags to ‘Form & Number: A History of Mathematical Beauty’ [archive.org/details/cain_forma].
