Enabling MathML support on a Drupal-based website

Skrivet av aalamaki, tors, 2008/02/21 - 15:29

To enable MathML support on a Drupal-based website, please do the following steps:

In the databases, make sure that all the tables and the database itself have the collation utf8_general_ci

in some cases for example if the Drupal installation was made over cpanel, the collation tends to be latin1_swedish_ci
The collation is important for the system to be able to view special mathematical characters correctly, for example ?, ? and ?

After making sure that the collation is correct, please insert (copy & paste) the attached script to the head of your Drupal theme's page.tpl.php
To insert standard MathML code in a document, make sure that the input type for the document is set to "Full HTML", if this is not selected the Drupal system will filter out MathML code

$α = {$a}^{\circ}$

We have so far tested this on Firefox where the syntax works fine. Following as an example:

x = \frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4 a c}}{2 a}

David has pointed out first in his blog how the modification of the script of Peter Jipsen's asciimathml could be used in our drupal site also.

One word of caution: if you cut&paste from MathML-enabled sources, make sure there are no newlines in the XML.

David's test was based on the same idea he used to modify his usual blog hosted on Blogger.
