Re: Whither MathML support?

It's Presentation MathML but MathJax now infers semantics from it that are useful for accessibility. Plus AT tools work with it. I've been told that getting MathML for a math-heavy textbook can save something like 85% of the cost of making it accessible.

Hi,

The fact is that MathML is an integral part of XML production workflows in STM. Bill K. makes it 100% clear. But is it mainly Content MathML or Presentation MathML?

In the first case (Content Markup), and with the limitations explained by Liam, the presence of MathML is EPUB content seems logical, because tools like MathJax will map the semantics (required in a production workflow) to a good visual presentation with a good accessibility (both required in a publication workflow).

In the second case (Presentation Markup), I still don't see the advantage of providing MathML over SVG (or HTML + CSS) at the EPUB (= publication) level.
