  1. A MathML Progress Report Autumn Cuellar @autumnc

  2. Overview • The MathML standard • MathML in other standards • MathML software support • Conclusion

  3. MathML • The W3C standard for encoding mathematics in XML • MathML working group emerged from HTML 3 discussions

  4. MathML • MathML 1 spec finalized in 1998 • Content MathML • Presentation MathML • Interface MathML • MathML 2 in 2003 • MathML 3 in late 2010

  5. MathML 3 • Line wrapping and line breaking

  6. MathML 3 • Elementary math

  7. MathML 3 • International math support

  8. Adoption Within Other Standards • Content MathML • CellML • SBML • PhysML

  9. Adoption Within Other Standards • Presentation MathML • DocBook • DITA 1.3 • Journal Article Tag Set • Accessibility: • DAISY • NIMAS • PDF/UA

  10. HTML / EPUB • HTML5 and EPUB 3 now have MathML support • A sign of how far MathML has come • Inclusion  consistent display • Take digital content to the next level

  11. Tool Support • Handwriting • Math Input Panel (Microsoft) • MoboMath (Enventra) • MyScript (Vision Objects) • Computation • Maple • Mathematica

  12. Tool Support • Document creation • Word processors: MS Word • XML editors: • <oXygen/> • FrameMaker • XMetaL • Flare

  13. Tool Support • SDKs • MathFlow Components • WIRIS • Rendering engines • MathJax • MathFlow • JEuclid

  14. Tool Support – Work Required • Conversion from legacy formats • Proprietary math formats • Ex. FrameMakermath • LaTeX/TeX • PDF documents • OCR software: InftyReader

  15. Tool Support – Work Required • Browsers/eReaders • Some MathML: Firefox, Safari • No MathML: IE, Chrome, Opera • eReaders often built on browsers • Disadvantages of MathJax • Slow – must convert MathML • Difficult to modify and query MathML as part of DOM • Cannot fully apply CSS to MathML

  16. Mathematics in eBooks • Frédéric Wang • Mozilla MathML • MathJax • WebKitMathML • MediaWiki Math • Project to improve WebKit support of MathML • Contributions from Design Science and XML Prague

  17. Conclusion • MathML is now a mature standard • It has been adopted into a wide range of scientific and documentation XML languages. • Tool support has come a long way, but still has room for improvement, esp: • Conversion to MathML from legacy formats • Browser/eReader support
