Is there a way to have math formulas look nice on a web page (as in LateX, for instance)

Question

I wonder if there is a framework or something else to display Math formula on a web page. Other than using images of those formulas...

Answer 1

There is MathML, which some of the newer browsers support. But as a fallback, you will need to use images.

Answer 2

The portable way is to use images.

MathML really isn't widely adopted.

You can do it with CSS, but again its very different to look right across a wide range of browsers

Answer 3

Take a look at MathML, which has both presentation and content flavors.

Answer 4

There's MathML: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML

Answer 5

Check out MathOverflow, which uses jsMath. Looks pretty good, but can take a few seconds to render everything.

Answer 6

What about jsMath, as used by MathOverflow?

Answer 7

MathML should be the standard way to do this, but it's not supported by all browsers. The newest Google Chart Tools have support for mathematical (TEX) formulas.

Answer 8

You may also check [MathJax][1]

[1]: http://www.mathjax.org/ which supports rendering both LaTex and MathML.

Answer 9

Check out this review of all of the options for web math display.

MathJax is the best option, but it's still in beta. As far as I can tell though, it's the only solution still under development and it should reach 1.0 soon.
