While the
MathML standard still struggle to get a decent adoption,
MathJax, an open-source JavaScript library, seems to have made its way to a
de facto standard for maths display on the web.
MathJax allows writing equations directly in
LaTeX or in MathML and renders them either in MathML in browser that supports it or with more common elements of HTML and CSS.
It is used notably by the
CERN, several sites of
StackExchange, and
friends. It's also
supported by the AMS and the IEEE.
What's more this is somehow the successor of
jsMath that I was using for
my little experiment in literate programming. And since
Sphinx now has a plugin for it, I've just updated my
literate musing pages (refreshing the theme at the same time to a get a lighter and hopefully more readable display).
