🦖 MathML scripted elements 🦖

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Tutorials/For_beginners/Scripts

We continue the review of basic math notations and focus on building MathML elements with scripts.

#webdev #MathML

Shouldn't #FEPb2b8 https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/b2b8/fep-b2b8.md include more common HTML elements/attributes useful for a long text?

I.e. `dl` (and `dt`and `dt`) etc. and the #MathML Core safe list https://w3c.github.io/mathml-docs/mathml-safe-list ?

🦖 <mtd>
✅ Widely available (from Jan 2023)

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/MathML/Reference/Element/mtd

The <mtd> MathML element represents a cell in a table or a matrix. It may only appear in a <mtr> element. This element is similar to the <td> element of HTML.

The support for #MathML in browser is often poor. The fact that instead of improving it the developers seem to be instead pressuring the standard bodies to impoverish the language only makes this worse.

(I am aware of #MathJax. We shouldn't need a heavy-duty #JavaScript library to solve typesetting problems. That's exactly what browser engines are there fore.)

I weep for the status of scientific publishing in the modern world.

(This rant is offered by my experience looking for options to make the SPHERIC newsletter available both in PDF and in HTML form. I don't even need complex math usually,, we try to avoid it in contributions because it's hard to typeset math outside of the TeX world. But the fact that in 2026 online the only safe way seems to be to typeset everything manually or rely on huge JavaScript libraries is a little depressing.)

Kirjoitin töiden puolesta, miten matematiikan kaavoja kirjoitetaan saavutettavasti eri formaatteihin: https://julkaisekaikille.fi/saavutettavaa-matematiikkaa-julkaisuissa-osa-2-julkaisuformaatit/

Lyhyesti: Paras tuki matematiikan kaavoille on selaimissa. Sen jälkeen e-kirjoissa (EPUB). PDF:ssä tuki on parantunut, mutta formaatin muut ongelmat haittaavat saavutettavuutta.

Dear friends, screen reader users, teachers and assistants.
I am trying to find out what tools can I use to create math content. I know #mathml is supported accross variety of screen readers and browsers but that seems to be only one side of the puzzle and that is reading.
How do I as a student collaborate on math content with my teacher and the other way round, how do I as a teacher create accessible math assigments for my student allowing them to complete it with a screen reader?

For this answer let's explore that both student and teacher are blind or visually disabled or teacher is sighted, student is blind. How to collaborate?
