OVERVIEW:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine for LaTeX and
|
||
|
|
MathML that works in all modern browsers. It was designed with the
|
||
|
|
goal of consolidating the recent advances in web technologies into a
|
||
|
|
single, definitive, math-on-the-web platform supporting the major
|
||
|
|
browsers and operating systems. It requires no setup on the part of
|
||
|
|
the user (no plugins to downlaod or software to install), so the page
|
||
|
|
author can write web documents that include mathematics and be
|
||
|
|
confident that users will be able to view it naturally and easily.
|
||
|
|
One simply includes MathJax and some mathematics in a web page, and
|
||
|
|
MathJax does the rest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some of the main features of MathJax include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o High-quality display of LaTeX and MathML math notation in HTML pages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Supported in most browsers with no plug-ins, extra fonts, or special
|
||
|
|
setup for the reader
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Easy for authors, flexible for publishers, extensible for developers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Supports math accessibility, cut and paste interoperability and other
|
||
|
|
advanced functionality
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Powerful API for integration with other web applications
