Web Math Matters

[MathML Association @mathml3]

The time has come. Welcome to 2023:

The Year of #MathML

As of today, MathML Core is natively available in Chrome.
Update your browsers!

We are hopeful that support will rapidly spread to all WebKit-based browsers in the coming weeks.

[Chrome for Developers @ChromiumDev]

Chrome 109 is starting to roll out now → https://t.co/AImYSsoBq3

Get all the details from @tropicadri including:
⚡ OPFS available for Android
⚡ New CSS properties
⚡ Support for MathML Core

🗞️ Four web frameworks improved their MathML support this month:

Angular, Lit, Preact, Svelte

[MathML Association @mathml3]

🗞️ MathML support has landed in the Svelte framework.

[bkardell 🐦 @briankardell]

Hey look at @luke_warlow just sending PRs to help @sveltejs work properly with MathML-Core

What would you do if you had a billion... MathML expressions?

[Deyan Ginev @dginev]

Announcing our new dataset:

🔹2.1 million HTML documents
🔹1 billion formulas in MathML

@FreyaHolmer There are some ongoing needs for cross-browser CSS support, but it will be quite interesting to hear how far one can get already.

By the way, there is also a katex fork specifically targeting MathML output, with more flexible font support:

Fantastic demonstration of using the web stack!

And it would be even better with MathML doing the heavy lifting.

hecking did it!! latex equation anims w. katex/css/js 🎉

Blogged: Rendering Math in HTML: MathML, MathML Core, and AsciiMath

https://t.co/7BgnG9gipT

In this post I discuss how you can render math in the browser using MathML and MathML Core elements, and show AsciiMath as an easier way of writing equations

#aspnetcore

[MathML Association @mathml3]

@sumit_arya096 Well, it's the obvious answer really - to bring math rendering to the Web Platform.

It's an old idea. If you'd like to draw a square root that stretches to fit the size of its arguments (think a tall vertical fraction), while having accessibility support, you'd want <msqrt>.

@duetosymmetry @TaliaRinger Since you mentioned Mathematica:

@RobJLow @duetosymmetry @TaliaRinger Hi! MathML is neither noble, nor failed.

Today it has support in all modern browsers and its community is actively working towards increasing its compatibility with the web platform with MathML Core and MathML 4.

And indeed: don't write it by hand if you can auto-generate it.

[MathML Association @mathml3]

@Almost_Sure Using a mature math font (e.g. STIX Two Math) with the script cursive Unicode block is likely the best approach:

For easy MathML preview, you can try examples using TeX syntax in the temml tool. Here is a caligraphic N:

[Yawar Amin @yawaramin]

Thanks to a first-time contributor, we have complete support for standard MathML markup in dream-html! https://t.co/sVpYRd9pE9
Between this and SVG, the library now makes it trivial to reuse large pieces of code to render math and vector images.

This podcast is an Igalia chat on the results of Interop 2024, as well as its selection process.

Thanks to everyone who helped get MathML noticed!
This may be the first year when decision-makers are wondering if MathML is actually "secretly mainstream".

(👀 STEM education 👀)

[MathML Association @mathml3]

Quote: "Do you know what was among the top w.r.t stars? MathML.

It had way more stars than navigation, CSS anchor positioning, CSS nesting, CSS style queries, masonry layout, declarative shadow DOM, custom media queries. Do you believe [...] developers want #MathML more [...]?"

@hrishikshpathak If interested, there is a MathML-native fork of KaTeX one can use nowadays, called temml:

[MathML Association @mathml3]

@hrishikshpathak When you say: "If somehow you managed to write an equation in MathML, the browser support is very poor."

The link you show as evidence has ALL modern browsers supporting MathML?

It's not 2016 anymore.

[Gustaf Mossakowski @siirtopakko]

TIL: It is possible to send HTML-E-Mails with #MathML, but (of course) GMail and OWA have problems displaying it. Apple Mail and the OpenSource Roundcube Webmail work perfectly fine. MathML on websites should work just fine, since Google Chrome joined the gang in 2023.

[MathML Association @mathml3]

👀 The bioRxiv preprint repository is investigating MathML support.

[Richard Sever @cshperspectives]

@DsSvetlov yes - bioRxiv has equations as images because they will look like what the author sent in without requiring proofing (we create XML after the PDF posts so no proofing step). Ideally they would be in MathML (so searchable) but the error rate is too high to do without proofing

[bkardell 🐦 @briankardell]

I'm always pointing out how nearly all of the work in MathML has been contributed from outside the main engine teams, so I want to be just as ready to point out when they do a good thing!!

Thanks @int32_t for fixing a whole bunch of new MathML tests!

Great news from arXiv and NIST!

LaTeXML is a MathML-capable conversion engine to HTML.

We are always delighted to see #MathML serve its intended purpose of making math syntax web-native and accessible to all.

[arXiv.org @arxiv]

Very proud of the #accessiblity work arXiv is doing with the help of @NIST and the wonderful, talented folks behind the #LaTeXML tool. This is a great, in-depth read to really understand the need, the challenges & how they are being solved!
