Interop and MathML Core


How does a website display a mathematical formula? More importantly, how can we ensure that all browsers show it the same way?

MathML Core is a small subset of MathML 3, specifically crafted for web browsers. It addresses inconsistencies in mathematical rendering across different browser engines. Igalia has been actively working on improving MathML interoperability, aligning the implementations of Firefox, WebKit and Chromium with this standard.

From nested exponents to Arabic writing direction, this session will explore the process of going from a specification to a feature release. MathML's unique history makes the task particularly interesting, as it often required deprecating existing features or implementing significant changes.
