Abstract

In this Editor's note, we discuss how to use HTML, CSS style sheets, and JavaScript to produce mathematical documents that are well-structured, conform to best practices, and look good. We also provide a number of basic tools to help authors of mathematical documents:

• A basic CSS style sheet
• A basic JavaScript file
• A document template for an article with mathematics rendered in HTML and images
• A document template for an article with mathematics encoded in MathML
• A document template for an article with graphics encoded in SVG
• A document template for an article with MathML and SVG
• Tables of mathematical symbols with HTML markup and images
• A list of external resources, including specifications, tutorials, and authoring tools

Keywords

• mathematical document
• HTML
• XHTML
• MathML
• SVG
• CSS
• JavaScript

Technologies

The basic expository article should be accessible with any modern browser. The templates with MathML and MathML/SVG are best viewed with the Firefox browser (version 2.0 or later). The template with SVG is best viewed with the Firefox browser or the Opera browser.
