So what I would actually propose for the short term
(next few years) in
case we really want to go the direction of MathML is the following:
1: img tag + --data-math=formulaID in HTML
2: script to detect MathML support in browser
3: script retrieves MathML DOM from API using formulaID
4: script replaces img with MathML
It's worth thinking about future-editor issues as well. Perhaps rendering
MathML client-side into a <canvas> is a better transition strategy -- it
would lead to a more responsive editor than having to do a server call
every character to update the render.
I haven't really looked into this -- are there any good javascript math
renderers? (Compiling the TeX implementation in C into client-side
JavaScript using emscripten might even be an option.)
