Math RSS FeedsMathML for CSS Profile is a W3C Recommendation - With the advancement of CSS Level 2 Revision 1 to Recommendation, the MathML for CSS Profile automatically also became a Recommendation. The Profile describes which parts of MathML3 can be formatted with CSS and which can thus be displayed by many types of software that understand CSS but do not understand MathML itself. This allows quite a large part of MathML already to be used even though not all browsers and formatters implement full MathML yet. The specification had already been tested and reviewed by the W3C members and the W3C Director in October 2010, but it has a normative dependency on CSS, and thus couldn't be a standard unless CSS Level 2 was a standard itself. ...Feed Source: www.w3.org MathML3 is a W3C Recommendation -
The W3C Director has advanced
MathML
version 3.0
to a W3C Recommendation.
The
press release
has
more information. Several companies have
already
expressed
support
for the new standard.
Compared to MathML 2, the major additions in version 3 are
support for bidirectional layout, better linebreaking and
explicit positioning, elementary math notations, and a new
strict content MathML vocabulary with well-defined
semantics.
MathML 3 is also part of version 5 of HTML (currently still
in development), which means embedding math in Web documents
will become easier, with direct import from HTML to mathematics
software and vice versa.
The
MathML for CSS Profile
has... MathML3 and MathML for CSS are Proposed Recommendations -
The W3C Director approved the publication of the
MathML version 3.0
specification
and its companion, the
MathML for CSS
Profile,
as
Proposed
Recommendations.
Until September 10, the two documents
undergo what
should be the final review by the W3C members,
before becoming W3C Recommendations. MathML3 was until now a
Candidate Recommendation, which means it was being tested in
practice. Becoming Proposed Recommendation means the tests were
successful. You can see with the
test
suite
(and the
test
results
of a number of current implementations) how well
your software supports MathML.
... Mathematical User Interfaces Workshop in Paris on July 10 -
Paul Libbrecht and the
MKM
Conference
are organizing
MathUI10,
the 2010 Workshop on Mathematical User
Interfaces. The workshop offers a forum discussing how users can
interact with the mathematical objects
represented on a
computer, how they can manipulate them to feel their
mathematical nature, how they can create them, how they can
visualize them, and how they can understand them. The deadline
for submissions is May 20.
... ?XML Entity Definitions for Characters? is a W3C Recommendation -
As expected, the
specification
XML Entity Definitions for Characters
has
become a W3C Recommendation. The W3C members expressed support
for the specification and had no further requests for changes.
Design Science welcomes the
XML Entity Definitions
for Characters
Recommendation. The nature of
mathematical notation and its many symbols inevitably leads to
the need for good character names. As a leading vendor of
scientific communication software, we are keenly aware of the
errors and confusions that have long been the result of
multiple conflicting sets of names in different contexts. By
providing a single, authoritative source of character names
? consolidating more than a decade of painstaking work
? this specification makes a significant contribution,
and we look forward to impleme... ?XML Entity Definitions for Characters? submitted for final review -
The
specification
XML Entity Definitions for Characters
has
advanced to the status of Proposed Recommendation, the final
step before becoming a standard.
It contains names for many
mathematical and other symbols, all from
the
Unicode
standard, and thus allows those symbols to be
written into XML documents in environments where typing them
directly would be difficult or impossible. The specification is
used by several types of documents, such as HTML5, DocBook, and,
of course, MathML. W3C members have until March 11, 2010, to
review the document. The specification should become a W3C
Recommendation three or four weeks later.
... MathML3 and the MathML for CSS profile are Candidate Recommendations -
The W3C Director today advanced the status
of
MathML3
from
Working Draft to Candidate Recommendation (CR). That means that
W3C is now asking people to not only send comments on the text,
but to implement the specification and send feedback on any
problems found in actual use.
The
MathML for
CSS profile,
which describes a subset of MathML3 that can be
rendered with existing CSS renderers, was advanced to CR at the
same time. The next step for both specifications
is
PR,
as soon as
there are sufficiently many implementations. The working group
expects to start testing implementations around March 2010.
Feedback can be sent to the
mailing list.
... Last Call and Working Draft of MathML 3.0 -
The Math Working Group published a new
draft of the MathML 3.0
specification,
which is intended to be the last one before
the specification becomes a Candidate Recommendation, around the
end of the year. That means this is the
last call
for
comments. Please, send comments to
.
The
deadline is November 11. See the
status
section
and
appendix F
for an overview of the major changes.
... New drafts of MathML 3.0 and the MathML for CSS profile -
The Math Working Group published new drafts of two
specifications,
Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 3.0
and
A
MathML for CSS profile.
The new draft of MathML 3.0
especially affects chapter 4, on content mark-up, but there
are smaller improvements throughout the document. The new draft
profile adds some elementary math (e.g., long division) and
includes sample CSS rules for displaying elementary math
formulas. See the drafts for the details and for how to give
feedback.
... New draft of MathML 3.0 -
The Math Working Group published the fourth draft
of
MathML version 3.
Some more of the
non-normative text has been removed
in favor of a separate Primer. The presentation mark-up now
allows the author to insert rendering hints in case the renderer
has to insert extra line breaks. But most of the editorial
effort has gone into defining the underlying semantics of
content mark-up (chapter 4): it is now almost completely
expressed in terms of OpenMath Content Dictionaries. That should
not affect authors, but it enables software to convert between
different math systems. Chapter 8 will eventually describe the
structure of those Content Dictionaries.

draft are very welcome
