MathML Progress
Summary
It’s been a while since we have provided some update on MathML, so we’re pleased to be able to provide a number of updates today… The MathML Working Group was successfully rechartered and has been meeting regularly in two subgroups: MathML general which meets regularly and discusses a broad range of topics about MathML and MathML-Core specifically which meets monthly with the aim of focusing on the MathML-Core specification and issues surrounding universal support in browsers specifically. Igalia is pleased to co-chair this group with Neil Soiffer and have several members contributing to both specifications and implementations. As promised, after a short break, we have also renewed our work on upstreaming MathML-Core in Chromium. Really great and complete support for stretchy characters will take a while, but work there has also progressed very nicely recently, as you can see in the animation below. You can try these for yourself in Chrome canary by enabling experimental web platform features.
