Just want to note that EPUB 3.0 supports MathML.

  Which readers support ePub 3.0 and MathML? I don't think (full) support is that common. Would be interested in a caniuse.com like overview

  Interesting. Do you happen to know which eReader devices (and ePub readers in general) support it? MathML would be so much easier than images!

    Webkit-based renderers support it, and AFAIK that means just iBooks, Kobo when using its kepub flavor of epub (but not in regular epubs, which trigger its inferior renderer), and software like Foliate. At Standard Ebooks we use MathML in our core source (see for example the Tractatus[1]) and during build it's rendered to PNG for maximum compatibility since so few ereaders support MathML right now.

  In what sense? I thought epub was just the container format, you could put raw LaTeX in it if you really wanted to (though I'm not sure if there's a mime-type for it).

    If ePub were just a container format, there would be interoperability headaches galore. Part of the ePub standard specifies how to format a book's contents as a mixture of HTML, CSS, and a handful of basic image types that readers are required to support. And now, apparently, MathML.
