ASCII-Math: Convert ASCII to MathML

Description

This macro allows mathematical expressions to be written in a simple text format using a subset of the ASCIIMathML syntax and subsequently displayed on your Trac wiki page. When the page is requested, the ASCII text is transformed into ​MathML, which can be rendered in any capable browser: Firefox for sure, IE with the MathPlayer plugin, maybe Opera. See ​Can I use for current browser support.

To create a MathML representation of the Pythagorean theorem:

{{{#!ASCIIMath
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
}}}

and the resulting wiki page's source should now contain properly formatted MathML code for display:

For more information about formatting the ASCII code describing the equation, see the ​ASCIIMathML documentation. See also ​https://github.com/ShadowKyogre/python-asciimathml for more info, or ​https://github.com/favalex/python-asciimathml for an older version.

No other executables, modules, or plugins are necessary for this to work. However, where items do not display exactly as shown, a better alternative is TracMathJaxPlugin, which relies on an external library and has global support by the scientific community.
