Read Original

This article details the author's experience embedding a mathematical equation in HTML slides using MathML. It explains the basics of MathML syntax, the lack of support in browsers like Chrome, and provides a practical solution using Modernizr and custom CSS to create a fallback styling for unsupported browsers, avoiding heavy libraries like MathJax for simple use cases.
