## Completing MathML 3 support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* implement full elementary math support (mlongdiv, mstack etc)
|
|
|
|
|
* [MML spec](http://www.w3.org/Math/draft-spec/chapter3.html#presm.elementary)
|
|
|
|
|
* [mlongdiv example](http://www.w3.org/Math/testsuite/build/main/Presentation/GeneralLayout/menclose/rec-enclose1-form.xhtml),
|
|
|
|
|
* [longdiv extension example](https://github.com/mathjax/MathJax-third-party-extensions/tree/master/longdiv)
|
|
|
|
|
* add TeX macros to match
|
|
|
|
|
* implement missing mtable attributes
|
|
|
|
|
* rowspan, colspan
|
|
|
|
|
* allow HTML5 foreign content
|
|
|
|
|
* tolerate HTML in mtext
|
|
|
|
|
* switch to HTML parser
|
|
|
|
|
* implement right-to-left support
|
|
|
|
|
* improve linebreaking support
|
|
|
|
|
* align@id
|
|
|
|
|
* linebreaking characters
|
|
|
|
|
* linebreaking in token elements
|
|
|
|
|
* inline math linebreaking support
|
|
|
|
|
* implement in-table alignments
|
|
|
|
|
* improve annotation-xml support
|
|
|
|
|
* embed annotations in a more HTML5 way (OA, ARIA etc)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Investigate ShadowDOM/webcomponents aka "make MathJax a seamless polyfill".
|
|
|
|
|
* Hide output in ShadowDOM
|
|
|
|
|
* leave (author configured) source in the LightDOM
|
|
|
|
|
* use mutation observers to detect changes to LightDOM (for updates).
|
|
|
|
|
* improve CSS inheritance
|
|
|
|
|
* e.g., optionally use getComputedStyle to map MathML stylesheets to MathJax output
|
|
|
|
|
* subexpression APIs
|
|
|
|
|
* a method that accepts string input and returns a string containing output (a self-contained SVG, CommonHTML output etc.)
|
|
|
|
|
* useful for canvas rendering, see [this discussion on mathjax-users](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mathjax-users/RhWayOM8t_A/gjuEuaX3cdwJ)
|
|
|
|
|
* might end up somewhat limited for lack of rendering context
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Improved loading & typesetting behavior
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* lazy typesetting extension
|
|
|
|
|
* typeset the viewport first, followed by rest of page
|
|
|
|
|
* linebreaking for responsive design extension
|
|
|
|
|
* lazy typesetting after viewport size changes (tablet rotation etc)
|
|
|
|
|
* leveraging server-side preprocessing: using MathJax-node to produce MathML line-broken for desired viewport sizes, pick up viewport size before rendering, render the fitting equation
|
|
|
|
|
* pre-loading extension
|
|
|
|
|
* prefetch remaining MathJax components after typesetting is complete
|
|
|
|
|
* tiny fetcher script to check for math in the page and load MathJax
|
|
|
|
|
* improve build tools
|
|
|
|
|
* evaluate switching to JS tools (grunt, gulp etc)
|
|
|
|
|
* simplify combined configuration building
|
|
|
|
|
* enable single-file builds
|
|
|
|
|
* investigate webservice for building combined configurations
|
|
|
|
|
* investigate local storage
|
|
|
|
|
* load components into local storage
|
|

|
* embedding alternative source formats of math (TeX, MathML, OpenMath, computer algebra notation)
|
|
|

|
* Add APIs for accessibility tools (AT) to interact with MathJax rendering as if it was native MathML. This includes
|
|
|
|
|
* handing MathML over to AT

|
|
|
|

|
|
* if the selected font does not cover a Unicode character, load a second font to provide it.
|
|
|
|
|
* enable dev-tools to produce such "mixed" fontdata (e.g., "combine Font X with fallbacks from STIX-MathJax").
|
|
|
|
|
* allow font mixing
|
|
|
|
|
* switch fonts within document (e.g., some equations use STIX, others Neo Euler perhaps depending on the CSS of their context (e.g., textbook problems vs solutions))
|
|
|
|
|
* generic font support in HTML output
|
|
|
|
|
