Math in Webpages, Part 2.5

I ran into Philip Schatz at OpenEd 2009 in Vancouver. (I met Phil when he came out for the OER Interoperability Sprint we hosted at COSL.)

Phil’s doing a NSF fellowship with Connexions at Rice University. Recently, he helped release a really cool feature for Connexions: MathML editing.

From Connexions’ Blog,

Now you can generate semantically-correct Content MathML on-the-fly and paste it into your Connexions module.

Kyle. (2009). Good as MEW: Redesigned authoring area, MathML Editor, and more! Retrieve on August 17, 2009 from the connexions blog Web site: http://blog.cnx.org/2009/07/good-as-mew-redesigned-authoring-area.html

But wait, it gets better. When talking with Phil, he says the feature works as a plugin for the Kupu editor. And, he thinks that he can get it working within WordPress!

Woohoo. Semantically marked-up Math for WordPress. (Aside, my previous posts discussed LaTeX display in WordPress.)

(Phil is on a short holiday, but promised me he’d let me know when he had it working!)
