Abstract

A panel of users and vendors will discuss topics including authoring, web browsing, ebooks, accessibility, conversion, and proofreading MathML in practice. MathML is key to encoding documents in a wide variety of contexts — because mathematics is key to communication in science, engineering, medicine, and a wide variety of other disciplines. It sounds easy. There is a tag set for math: encode your math with it and use that. Is it in fact that easy?
