Thread:Project:Support desk/Status of "MathML if possible (experimental)" preference?

What is the status of the Appearance -> Math preference "MathML if possible (experimental)"?

When I select it, the math tag is rendered as plain HTML, there is no MathML visible in the HTML that I looked at.

Furthermore, the math tag is rendered incorrectly for some cases. In particular, with "MathML if possible (experimental)" in effect, $$A$$ unexpectedly renders as an upright, sans-serif "A": "$$A$$" ( $$A$$ ) looks like "A" ( A ). With "Recommended for modern browsers" in effect, " $$A$$ " looks like " A " ( $A$ ), as expected it renders as slanted and serifed. This issue occurs for typographically simple formulae like "A", "xy" or "AB=CD". For typographically more complex formulae like "A*", the issue is not present.

What is the status here? If the option does not do what it advertises, it should be removed or at least hidden. --RainerBlome 15:00, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
