The document discusses using MathML to display mathematical expressions on webpages. It notes current problems with displaying expressions as images or text, and introduces MathML as a solution. MathML encodes expressions semantically and allows them to be edited, in contrast to images which are large files that are difficult to edit. The document also describes methods for building MathML, including through ASCII input converted to tags or by using TeX input converted to MathML. It provides examples of MathML usage in bulletin boards and wikis.

1. Use of MathML on a Webpage The Kyoto College of Graduate studies for Informatics Hironobu GOTOH

2. Menu Problem of expression display on a webpage Expression in WebCT About MathML Method of building in ASCII MathML MathML in BBS MathML in Wiki

3. Problem of expression display on a webpage 1/3 The method of treating the expression with a current web is as follows. Text Image However, various problems are enumerated in the method of describing these.

4. Problem of expression display on a webpage 2/3 Text (-b±√(b^2 - 4ac )) / (2a) It is not easy to see. There is no regulations of the description.

5. Problem of expression display on a webpage 3/3 Image The size of the file is large. It has a hard time correcting. Management is serious.

6. Expression in WebCT The expression that the student wrote cannot be edited on the teacher side.

7. About MathML MathML solves the problem about the expression display by the image and the text. <math> <mstyle fontfamily=&quot;serif&quot;> <mrow> <msup> <mi>x</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </mrow> <mo>+</mo> <mn>3</mn> </mstyle> </math>

8. Method of building in ASCII MathML The expression input to build ASCII MathML into the page by the Te decussate type is converted into the tag of MathML by the automatic operation. Expression input by Tex Expression generation with MathML
