Is there a way to have math formulas look nice on a web page (as in LateX, for instance)

I wonder if there is a framework or something else to display Math formula on a web page. Other than using images of those formulas...

I found this https://github.com/mathjax/mathjax very useful. It supports:

  • AsciiMath
  • LaTeX
  • Tex
  • MathML

Katex

A couple of developers from the Khan Academy released a blazing quick library based off of Tex called Katex:

  • Fast
  • High-quality
  • Self-contained; and,
  • Can be rendered on the server

Looks like a great modern option.

You may also check MathJax, which supports rendering both LaTex and MathML.

MathJax is the new version of jsMath. You might want to also check out jqmath at http://mathscribe.com/author/jqmath.html. I wrote it to be simple, small and fast.

Check out this review of all of the options for web math display.

MathJax is the best option, but it's still in beta. As far as I can tell though, it's the only solution still under development and it should reach 1.0 soon.

MathML should be the standard way to do this, but it's not supported by all browsers. The newest Google Chart Tools have support for mathematical (TEX) formulas.

What about jsMath, as used by MathOverflow?

Check out MathOverflow, which uses jsMath. Looks pretty good, but can take a few seconds to render everything.

Take a look at MathML, which has both presentation and content flavors.

The portable way is to use images.

MathML really isn't widely adopted.

You can do it with CSS, but again its very different to look right across a wide range of browsers

Here is excellent advice: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/math/

There is MathML, which some of the newer browsers support. But as a fallback, you will need to use images.
