HTML Math
The HTML Math spec:
- Released in May 97 - see http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-math
- Core standard covering presentation and markup
- Will contain 20 presentation tags with 40 attributes
- Will contain 50 content tags (roughly equivalent to functions on scientific calculator)
- Initially implemented using embedded elements (ActiveX, Java) enabling 3rd parties to develop rendering tools (won't need to wait for Netscape / Microsoft)
- Software will be available in June 97
- Full implementation requires better browser APIs (e.g. DOM)
