MathML (.mml)

MIME type: text/mathml, application/mathml+xml
MathML mathematical markup language.
Used for integrating mathematical formulas in web documents.
Rendering of embedded MathML is supported by a number of browsers and browser additions.
Specifies the presentation and the semantic content of mathematical formulas.
XML-based format.
Based on a draft that was derived from the Mathematica typesetting language.
Introduced in 1999 and updated in 2003 by the W3C math working group.
  • Import and Export fully support the MathML 2.0 specification.
IMPORT AND EXPORT
  • Import imports a MathML file and returns a box expression.
  • Export exports an arbitrary expression to MathML.
  • Import reads the MathML presentation elements from a file and converts them to the corresponding Mathematica box expression.
  • Export converts a box expression or an arbitrary Mathematica expression to MathML.
  • When exporting an arbitrary mathematical expression, its presentation and its context are represented in the resulting MathML.
  • Import imports the specified element from a MathML file.
  • Import imports multiple elements.
  • Export creates a MathML file by treating expr as specifying element elem.
  • Export treats each as specifying the corresponding .
  • Export exports expr with the specified option elements taken to have the specified values.
  • Export uses rules to specify the elements to be exported.
  • The export format can be explicitly specified in the form Export or Export.
  • See the reference pages for full general information on Import and Export.
ELEMENTS
