This page lists the MathML 2.0 content markup elements. Each element links to reference information about the MathML description of the element, with comments about the WebEQ 3 implementation.

Open Wiki supports the MathML standard as defined by the W3C organization. Everything that is entered between <math>...</math> tags is transformed into a mathetical formula.

MathML is about encoding the structure of mathematical expressions so that they can be displayed, manipulated and shared over the World Wide Web. A carefully encoded MathML expression can be evaluated in a computer algebra system, rendered in a Web browser, edited in your word processor, and printed on your laser printer. Mathematical software vendors are adding MathML support at a rapid pace, and MathML is fast becoming the lingua franca of scientific publication on the Web.

Thank you for your interest in our TeX/LaTeX to MathML translator. While our translator is not the only one you'll find out there, it has several big advantages over the others. For one thing, since it is written in Java, it is easily portable. But don't be fooled - it is fast (it only takes about 2 seconds on an average computer to translate a 100 Kb TeX document).

A short introduction to writing Content MathML by hand. It covers tokens, prefix notation, and applying functions and operators. In addition it introduces writing derivatives, integrals, vectors, and matrices.

The W3C has announced the release of the version 2.0 specification of Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) as an official Recommendation, indicating that the "specification is stable, contributes to Web interoperability, and has been reviewed by the W3C Membership, who are in favor of supporting its adoption by academic, industry, and research communities."

Publicon 1.0 is a structured document authoring system based on the Mathematica notebook front end and enhanced with custom document processing features. Technologies developed by Wolfram Research as support features in Mathematica are exploited here with the primary emphasis on an easy-to-use interface for creating and editing technical content for publication. This demonstration will cover Publicon's palette- and menu-driven interface, conversion processes for XML/MathML/HTML and TeX, a reference management system, and general customization features. Presentation by Andre Kuzniarek, Document Technology Manager at Wolfram Research and lead Publicon developer.

This draft demonstrates the combination of Flash(MX) and MathML.

MathML is an XML-based document language designed to solve the difficult problem of displaying mathematics properly in web browsers. The W3C has produced a very good specification for MathML, an indispensable first step. Although it appears that it will take a little more time [as of this writing, August 2001] before we can genuinely say that we have usable, readily available, reasonably easy-to-install browsers that do a good job of rendering MathML, some of the software under development is getting pretty close.

Recently, I joked that, whatever my efforts to make these pages Accessible, no Screen Reader in existence could handle MathML. I was just joking, right? The W3C designed MathML with accessibility in mind. And everyone, including the W3C recommends it as the format for putting math on the Web accessibly.

This chapter specifies the "presentation" elements of MathML, which can be used to describe the layout structure of mathematical notation. It is strongly recommended that one read Section 2.3 on MathML syntax and grammar before reading Chapter 3. Section 2.3 contains important information on MathML notations and conventions which are necessary for understanding some of the material in this chapter.

MathML is intended to facilitate the use and re-use of mathematical and scientific content on the Web, and for other applications such as computer algebra systems, print typesetters, and voice synthesizers. MathML can be used to encode both mathematical notation, for high-quality visual display, and mathematical content, for applications like scientific software, or voice synthesis, where it's important to be able to understand the meaning.

Displaying mathematics on the web is a notoriously difficult problem; The existing solutions, notably the use of GIF images for the presentation of mathematical notation, prove problematic in general, and particularly so for viewers with disabilities. The recent W3C proposal for an XML mathematics language, MathML, promises to quickly become the Internet standard for mathematical documents.

This section displays a MatML character table.

Token elements can contain any sequence of 0 or more characters, or extended characters represented by entity references. In particular, tokens with empty content are allowed, and should typically render invisibly, with no width except for the normal extra spacing for that kind of token element.

The string "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" is the MathML namespace identifier string. The fact that the URI it represents actually is resolved to this page is of no direct importance for namespace resolution purposes. This page is provided so that there is some relevant information to read in case someone wishes to do so. The matter of namespaces is discussed in the W3C documents on the matter, and MathML is explained in the current W3C MathML Recommendation.

The rendering of MathML in Mozilla is native. The MathML module is a built-in component of the Gecko layout engine and so it is not possible to use it in isolation outside of Mozilla. It is built upon APIs provided by Gecko, and incorporates elements needed for the particular aspects of MathML.

This document begins with a table detailing the transformation required to convert between MathML and OpenMath, using the MathML CD Group. We then give various illustrations of the more complex conversions. The first column gives the MathML element and attribute combination, the second column gives the equivalent OpenMath construct. Additional notes and comments are provided where appropriate.

Stilo welcomes the achievement of recommendation status by MathML 2, second edition. Stilo is a global provider of content engineering technologies and expertise, and MathML is a key component in our ability to deliver open XML-based solutions to our clients. As a Principal Writer of the recommendation, Stilo is a long-term supporter of the MathML activity and will continue this support actively in the future.
