Is there a way to have math formulas look nice on

Question

I wonder if there is a framework or something else to display Math formula on a web page. Other than using images of those formulas...

Answer 1

There is MathML, which some of the newer browsers support. But as a fallback, you will need to use images.

Answer 2

MathJax is the new version of jsMath. You might want to also check out jqmath at http://mathscribe.com/author/jqmath.html. I wrote it to be simple, small and fast.

Answer 3

The portable way is to use images.

MathML really isn't widely adopted.

You can do it with CSS, but again its very different to look right across a wide range of browsers

Answer 4

I found this https://github.com/mathjax/mathjax very useful. It supports:

• AsciiMath
• LaTeX
• Tex
• MathML

Answer 5

What about jsMath, as used by MathOverflow?

Check out this review of all of the options for web math display.

MathJax is the best option, but it's still in beta. As far as I can tell though, it's the only solution still under development and it should reach 1.0 soon.
