- Interoperability enhances the web experience across different browsers.
- MathML Core is being developed to standardize mathematical notation rendering across browsers.
- MathML was first published in 1998 but faced implementation inconsistencies.
- MathML Core focuses on a feasible subset of MathML 3 for browser implementation.
- Chromium removed its MathML support in 2013 due to maintenance difficulties but reintroduced it in 2023.
- RTL mirroring is essential for correct rendering in right-to-left scripts like Arabic.
- Glyph-level mirroring is now supported in major browsers to ensure correct symbol orientation.
- math-shift and math-depth properties improve the rendering of nested and complex formulas.
- font-family: math ensures the use of suitable fonts for mathematical content.
- Updates to the operator dictionary and improvements in operator stretching are upcoming features.
- Positioned elements and float handling in MathML are areas for future consistency improvements.
