State of MathML Adoption

●  Chrome and IE 11 do not support MathML

●  EPUB/KF8 reading system support poor

A Solution

1.  A publisher or other content creator using a MathML Cloud integrated product, such as an InDesign plugin or a proprietary production toolchain, submits MathML code to the MathML Cloud API

A Solution

2.  The MathML is converted to an SVG image using MathJax. There is an option to further convert the SVG to a PNG image. The MathML is also processed by the integrated ChromeVox math utilities to generate a textual description.

A Solution

3.  The API returns HTML/SVG code and the PNG image. The HTML code contains Schema.org accessibility metadata and a link to the source MathML. The HTML and images can be inserted into a web page or an EPUB 2/3.
