Dear all, Since the time when TeX markup was announced on Wikipedia back in 2003 [1], it was always intended to replace PNG images by a better way to render mathematical formulae. We added a mode to produce MathML formulae, which can be better integrated into the text (scalability, alignment, styling, etc.), is accessible to people with disabilities and improves page loading speed. This will enhance your experience if you use an HTML5 compatible browser like Firefox, or MathML aware accessibility tools (such as screen readers). But even for MathML-disabled browsers such as the current version of Chrome, we provide an SVG fallback that will bring significant improvements. In addition, we would like to highlight the following features 1. Accessibility support 2. Differentiation between display and inline styles 3. Improved alignment 4. Unique IDs Visit http://math-preview.wmflabs.org/ for further information and demos of the aforementioned features or read our research paper [2] for additional background information.
