# MathJax
|
|
|
|
## Beautiful math in all browsers
|
|
|
|
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 download 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. Simply include MathJax and some
|
|
mathematics in a web page, and MathJax does the rest.
|
|
|
|
Some of the main features of MathJax include:
|
|
|
|
- High-quality display of LaTeX and MathML math notation in HTML pages
|
|
|
|
- Supported in most browsers with no plug-ins, extra fonts, or special
|
|
setup for the reader
|
|
|
|
- Easy for authors, flexible for publishers, extensible for developers
|
|
|
|
- Supports math accessibility, cut-and-paste interoperability and other
|
|
advanced functionality
|
|
|
|
- Powerful API for integration with other web applications
|
|
