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:

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.
