Introduction

The idea here is that in the years ahead the modern form of HTML known as XHTML, when extended by MathML, will be the best possible form of online presentation for a mathematical article.

Reasons XHTML+MathML is preferable for online use to a format like PDF or DVI include:

  1. Content can be scaled to suit the reader's eyes.
  2. As with ordinary HTML (and unlike PDF), content is re-flowed when a user “zooms” in/out or re-sizes the browsing window.
  3. XHTML+MathML is a recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium that complies with the standard Guidelines for Accessibility.
  4. With sufficient attention to mathematical semantics by authors who are so interested, there will be the future possibility of importing math segments from online article content to MathML-literate processors such as computer algebra systems.
  5. With suitable future browser development there could be the possibility of mathematically smart searching.
  6. XHTML+MathML will be automatically derivable from future authoring systems parallel to customary printed output. Suitable future authoring systems, which will include TeX-like systems, can make it possible for journals to process articles without human alteration of an author's source.
