How would you figure out whether "MathML" had "taken off", given it's of
interest to a vanishingly small proportion of the internet population?
I hadn't checked in a while, but it turns out that it's implemented in
all current Mozilla based releases, ie Mozilla, Netscape, and Firefox,
and all that's needed for me to render the test pages at:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/is to install a few fonts, courtesy of Wolfram Research. Supported
under Windows, Linux, and MacOSX.
Actually, check out the implementations page:
http://www.w3.org/Math/implementations.htmlBest from a fast connection as there are a lot of screenshots to
download, and last updated 6/19/2004.
There's a free Internet Explorer plugin for rendering MathML if you're
still playing Redmond Roulette.
