1 # MathJax 2 3 ## Beautiful math in all browsers 4 5 MathJax is an open-source JavaScript display engine for LaTeX, MathML, and 6 AsciiMath notation that works in all modern browsers. It was designed with 7 the goal of consolidating the recent advances in web technologies into a 8 single, definitive, math-on-the-web platform supporting the major browsers 9 and operating systems. It requires no setup on the part of the user (no 10 plugins to download or software to install), so the page author can write 11 web documents that include mathematics and be confident that users will be 12 able to view it naturally and easily. Simply include MathJax and some 13 mathematics in a web page, and MathJax does the rest. 14 15 Some of the main features of MathJax include: 16 17 - High-quality display of LaTeX, MathML, and AsciiMath notation in HTML pages 18 19 - Supported in most browsers with no plug-ins, extra fonts, or special 20 setup for the reader 21 22 - Easy for authors, flexible for publishers, extensible for developers 23 24 - Supports math accessibility, cut-and-paste interoperability, and other 25 advanced functionality 26 27 - Powerful API for integration with other web applications 28 29 See <http://www.mathjax.org/> for additional details. 30 31 32 ## Installation and Usage 33 34 The MathJax installation and usage documentation is available in a 35 separate GitHub repository at 36 37 https://github.com/mathjax/mathjax-docs 38 39 The HTML versions are now available at 40 41 http://docs.mathjax.org/ 42 43 where it is possible for you to submit corrections and modifications 44 directly to the documentation on line. 45 46 47 ## Community 48 49 The main MathJax website is <http://www.mathjax.org>, and it includes 50 announcements and other important information.
