jquery-mathml.js contains a patched version of jquery 1.4.4 to allow MathML objects to be modified more fluidly. This is very much a proof of concept work.

MathML is only supported by Gecko ( Firefox ) and Opera based browsers at the moment. Internet Explorer and WebKit browsers partially support MathML but their coverage is extremely poor.

See: http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/MathML%20Status

DEMO FOR FIREFOX 3.6+:

• http://sdiehl.github.com/jquery-mathml/

Working:

• selection of MathML nodes by id/class/attribute
• styling MathML nodes ( partial fix for http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/5647 )
• isMath query

TODO:

• innerHTML
• display: none results in error message
• add wrappers for native MathML styling attributes ( mathvariant, mathsize, ... ) as specified in: http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/REC-MathML2-20090303/chapter3.html#presm.commatt

Note:

Firefox 4 beta is lightyears ahead of other browsers in terms of MathML support, for example if you install the STIX fonts and take a look at the following page you'll find it's nearly identical to LaTeX.
