- seanhunter 3y agoNot the person you’re asking the question to, but it’s worth noting (if you don’t already know) that MathML is really not designed at all as an input language for practitioners who just want to write a few equations in some document. It’s designed as an output/presentation language so that devices that want to render some maths can do so faithfully[1]. As such, if you’re a human being who wants to typeset some equation, you’ll want to go to latex every single time rather than mathml and then someone else has to figure out the conversion.
