Translating an expression to MathML

2.7.4 Translating an expression to MathML

The mathml command translates expressions to MathML.

mathml takes expr, an expression.
mathml(expr) returns the result of evaluating expr written in MathML.

Remark.

mathml is a legacy export command; a more complete translation to MathML is provided by the export_mathml command (see Section 2.7.7). The latter is useful if you need quality rendering of giac/Xcas output for your web pages.

Example

mathml(1/4+1/4)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/xhtml-math11-f.dtd" [ <!ENTITY mathml "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <body> <math mode="display" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mfrac><mrow><mn>1</mn></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></mfrac> </math><br/> </body> </html>

This is the number 1/2 in MathML form, along with enough information to make it a complete HTML document.
