Displaying Math.

[D4rkH0rse]

I am keeping my fingers crossed that one of you out there can help me.

 

So I have been searching several hours to figure out how I can best display mathematical formulas in webpages. My search led me to MathJax.

 

There the first problem revealed itself. Tex does not seem to be supported in IE. Neither can I get MatML to work. Just a note I only tried in IE and Chrome.

 

Then I read about AsciiMath, so I gave that a try. That one I could not get to work in IE or in Chrome (later found out it only works in Firefox). What I understood from some reading IE used to support it, however from version 9 or 10 they dropped it.

 

So..... (drumbeat), my question is. What is the best way to display mathematical formulas in webpages. I read that PHP has a method of changing formulas into images. But I have no clue if this would reflect badly in SEO etc.

 

Kind regards.

MathJax says that they support all browsers:http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/misc/browser-compatibility.htmlIt sounds like you can write the formulas in one of three notations, and the Javascript will handle rendering the formulas so that they will display using whatever the user's browser supports.http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/mathjax.html

Are you talking about dynamically constructed formulae or something that could simply be an image?
