HTML5 - MathML
The HTML syntax of HTML5 allows for MathML elements to be used inside a document using <math>...</math> tags.
Most of the web browsers can display MathML tags. If your browser does not support MathML, then I would suggest you to use latest version of Firefox.
MathML Examples
Following is a valid HTML5 document with MathML −
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset = "UTF-8">
<title>Pythagorean theorem</title>
</head>
<body>
<math xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
<msup><mi>a</mi><mn>2</mn></msup>
<mo>+</mo>
<msup><mi>b</mi><mn>2</mn></msup>
<mo> = </mo>
<msup><mi>c</mi><mn>2</mn></msup>
</mrow>
</math>
</body>
</html>
This will produce the following result −
Using MathML Characters
Consider, following is the markup which makes use of the characters ⁢ −
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset = "UTF-8">
<title>MathML Examples</title>
</head>
<body>
<math xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
<mrow>
<msup>
<mi>x</mi>
<mn>2</mn>
</msup>
<mo>+</mo>
<mrow>
<mn>4</mn>
<mo>⁢</mo>
<mi>x</mi>
</mrow>
<mo>+</mo>
<mn>4</mn>
</mrow>
<mo>=</mo>
<mn>0</mn>
</mrow>
</math>
</body>
</html>
This would produce the following result. If you are not able to see proper result like x2 + 4x + 4 = 0, then use Firefox 3.5 or higher version.
This will produce the following result −
Matrix Presentation Examples
Consider the following example which would be used to represent a simple 2x2 matrix −
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset = "UTF-8">
<title>MathML Examples</title>
</head>
<body>
<math xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
<mi>A</mi>
<mo>=</mo>
<mfenced open = "[" close="]">
<mtable>
<mtr>
<mtd><mi>x</mi></mtd>
<mtd><mi>y</mi></mtd>
</mtr>
<mtr>
<mtd><mi>z</mi></mtd>
<mtd><mi>w</mi></mtd>
</mtr>
</mtable>
</mfenced>
</mrow>
</math>
</body>
</html>
This will produce the following result −
This would produce the following result. If you are not able to see proper result, then use Firefox 3.5 or higher version.
