Is there a way to have math formulas look nice on a web page (as in LateX, for instance)

Question

I wonder if there is a framework or something else to display Math formula on a web page. Other than using images of those formulas...

Answer 1

Check out MathOverflow, which uses jsMath. Looks pretty good, but can take a few seconds to render everything.

Answer 2

There is MathML, which some of the newer browsers support. But as a fallback, you will need to use images.

Answer 3

Katex

A couple of developers from the Khan Academy released a blazing quick library based off of Tex called Katex:

• Fast
• High-quality
• Self-contained; and,
• Can be rendered on the server

Looks like a great modern option.

Answer 4

MathJax is the new version of jsMath. You might want to also check out jqmath at http://mathscribe.com/author/jqmath.html. I wrote it to be simple, small and fast.

Answer 5

Take a look at MathML, which has both presentation and content flavors.

Answer 6

MathML should be the standard way to do this, but it's not supported by all browsers. The newest Google Chart Tools have support for mathematical (TEX) formulas.
