Hello Bob, I looked up two examples that are displayed correctly in Firefox:
http://www.math-it.org/Publikationen/MathML.html http://gorupec.awardspace.com/mathml.html The second one says in the beginning: "NOTE: this is a standard HTML page that cannot render the MathML examples below! Click on this MathML examples twin page made with the XHTML that actually can render equations (of course, only if your browser supports MathML). However both pages render correctly: http://gorupec.awardspace.com/mathml.html http://gorupec.awardspace.com/mathml.xhtml Daniel Neil Soiffer <[email protected]> schrieb am 20:21 Freitag, 6.Dezember 2013: MathML is supported in Firefox as part of XHTML. It is also supported as part of HTML5, but you can't use namespace prefixes in HTML5 because HTML5 doesn't know about namespaces. For compatibility between XHTML and HTML5, you can do the following: <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/math/MathML";> ... </math> This will put the math in the right namespace in XHTML and because it has no namespace prefixes, will work in HTML5 also. Of course, the DOCTYPE needs to be specified correctly to tell Firefox that you have XHTML or HTML5. MathML is not part of HTML4, so make sure you get the DOCTYPE right.
