Math

  • HTML: very little support

    a<sup>2</sup>

  • Bitmaps: currently a common ‘solution’

    <img src="fig.gif" />

    • Don’t scale visually
    • Meaningless for non-visual applications
  • MathML: emerging solution

    <msup><mi>b</mi><mn>2</mn></msup>

    • Supported by Mozilla (and Netscape)
    • MathPlayer provides similar support to Internet Explorer—very easy to install

default: HTML for $...$;
bitmaps for $$...$$, \(...\), \[...\]

bitmaps for $...$

bitmaps for \begin{array}...\end{array}
