MathML is a failed web standard (2016)
I don&#x27;t understand what is wrong with TeX.<p>- As a syntax&#x2F;language for mathematics, it&#x27;s the actual standard. Do you think Terry Tao will bother learning some other language for his blog? You might as well argue that English is poorly-specified and the web should switch to Lojban.<p>- As a layout engine, it encodes all the damn typographical conventions that are in every single research article, academic journal and textbook. In the world.<p>Trying to replace TeX is so quixotic it makes Urbit sound pragmatic and down-to-earth. It&#x27;s this whole scorched earth tradition. There just isn&#x27;t any mathematics out there that uses anything but TeX.
