We expect equations to look great and be useful (e.g. ![]() The Internet allows us to share text and images seamlessly across platforms and systems, but similar demands for mathematical equations can fall short. As a result, anyone involved in producing, publishing, or reading mathematical equations electronically knows that writing and publishing math is not a simple process. Mathematics is a fundamental building block of modern technology, research, and industry, and yet, the technological means of publishing mathematics can still be surprisingly challenging.
