MathML support in Adobe Digital Editons for EPUB

Question

I am using MathPlayer to render MathML in an XML file. I am creating an EPUB. The ebook reader which I am using is Adobe Digital Editions. But it is not rendering the mathematical equations properly. Does ADE support MathML? Is there a way to do it?

Answer 1

ADE doesn't support MathML. If you are dependent on using ADE, your best bet is to use PNG graphics in your EPUB. This will enable your EPUB + Math to work on many more readers, since MathML is not well supported either inside or outside the browsers.

Some EPUB readers have incorporated the MathJax javascript library into their implementations. You can see which readers have MathJax support here: http://www.mathjax.org/resources/epub-readers/

Hope this helps.
