The jsMath package provides a method of including mathematics in
|
||
|
|
HTML pages that works across multiple browsers under Windows,
|
||
|
|
Macintosh OS X, Linux and other flavors of unix. It overcomes a
|
||
|
|
number of the shortcomings of the traditional method of using images
|
||
|
|
to represent mathematics: jsMath uses native fonts, so they resize
|
||
|
|
when you change the size of the text in your browser, they print
|
||
|
|
at the full resolution of your printer, and you don't have to wait
|
||
|
|
for dozens of images to be downloaded in order to see the mathematics
|
||
|
|
in a web page. There are also advantages for web-page authors, as
|
||
|
|
there is no need to preprocess your web pages to generate any
|
||
|
|
images, and the mathematics is entered in TeX form, so it is easy
|
||
|
|
to create and maintain your web pages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although it works best with the TeX fonts installed, jsMath will
|
||
|
|
fall back on a collection of image-based fonts (which can still be
|
||
|
|
scaled or printed at high resolution) or unicode fonts when the
|
||
|
|
TeX fonts are not available. This package contains the necessary
|
||
|
|
TeX fonts.
