Converting Legacy Markup to MathML

• Goal: Convert publisher-specific XML math markup to standard presentation MathML

  • Desired result: can then focus on single rendering solution

• Groundrules:

  • Minimize need for human intervention
  • Utilize standards-based techniques (e.g., XSLT, JavaScript, DOM)
  • Embed MathML in full XML document
  • Validate success of conversion based on quality of presentation
  • Strive for consistency across MathML viewers

• Scope:

  • E.g. in 17,000 APS articles, > 2.3 M instances of math (100 K block)
