Keep an eye on MathML status #76

Open ivanreese opened 8 years ago

It'd be nice to use markup for math formulas, rather than images.

MathML was panned by browser vendors other than Safari, sadly.

There are a few nice polyfills.

MathJax is the gold standard, but seems to render slowly: https://www.mathjax.org

KaTeX is newer, from Khan Academy, but it's like 150kb plus fonts: https://github.com/Khan/KaTeX

There's also this page on MDN that lists a bunch of alternatives: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Authoring#Fallback_for_Browsers_without_MathML_support — The mathml.css might be sufficient, but it's got an OSS licence that requires the notice being preserved.. which our CSS preprocessing will probably totally destroy.

Turns out, FF and Safari still have good support for MathML, and Chrome has started work on it and seems to intend to ship it!
