MathML is the W3c approved, XML based, markup language for mathematics.

MathML can not be natively displayed by current browsers (IE 5.x or Netscape 4.x). However Mozilla, the new open source browser on which Netscape 6 will be based, does have very effective MathML display capabilities.

MathML is a low-level language, easily parsed by computers, but difficult to author by hand.

Example: A Taylor series expansion.

In latex:

\[f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{f^{(n)}(a)}{n!} (z-a)^n\].

And in MathML:

<math xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML' mode='display'>
<mi>f</mi><mo>(</mo><mi>z</mi><mo>)</mo>
<mo>=</mo>
<msubsup>
<mo>&Sum;</mo>
<mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0</mn></mrow>
<mn>&infin;</mn>
</msubsup>
<mfrac>
<mrow>
<msup><mi>f</mi> <mrow><mo>(</mo><mi>n</mi><mo>)</mo></mrow> </msup>
<mo>(</mo><mi>a</mi><mo>)</mo>
</mrow>
<mrow><mi>n</mi><mo>!</mo></mrow>
</mfrac>
<mo>(</mo><mi>z</mi><mo>-</mo><mi>a</mi>
<msup><mo>)</mo> <mi>n</mi></msup>
</math>

Thus we need tools to assist authoring. These are provided by tex4moz and itex2mml.
