| 3 | = ASCIIMath: Convert Simple ASCII to MathML = |
| 4 | |
| 5 | == Description == |
| 6 | |
| 7 | This macro allows equations to be written in a simple text format using |
| 8 | a subset of the !ASCIIMathML syntax. When the page is requested, the |
| 9 | ASCII text is transformed into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML MathML], which can be rendered in any capable browser (Firefox for sure, IE with !MathPlayer plugin, maybe Opera). |
| 10 | |
| 11 | No other executables, modules, or plugins are necessary for this to work. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | See [https://github.com/favalex/python-asciimathml] for more info. |

| 17 | == Bugs/Feature Requests == |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Existing bugs and feature requests for AsciiMathMacro are |
| 20 | [report:9?COMPONENT=AsciiMathMacro here]. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | If you have any issues, create a |
| 23 | [http://trac-hacks.org/newticket?component=AsciiMathMacro&owner=ArmstrongJ new ticket]. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | == Download == |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Download the zipped source from [download:asciimathmacro here]. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | == Source == |
| 30 | |
| 31 | You can check out AsciiMathMacro from [http://trac-hacks.org/svn/asciimathmacro here] using Subversion, or [source:asciimathmacro browse the source] with Trac. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | == Example == |
| 34 | |
| 35 | This macro is relatively simple to use. For example, to create a MathML |
| 36 | representation of the Pythagorean theorem, one would enter |
| 37 | |
| 38 | {{{ |
| 39 | {{{ |
| 40 | !#ASCIIMath |
| 41 | a^2 + b^2 = c^2 |
| 42 | }}} |
| 43 | }}} |
| 44 | |
| 45 | and the resulting wiki page's source should now contain properly formatted MathML code for display. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | For more information about formatting the ASCII code describing the equation, |
| 48 | see http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html. Some items might |
| 49 | not display exactly as shown. |
