• fast/reliable support for mobile platforms,
• inherent support without author or user action,
• support for dynamic interactivity,
• "the only way" for WebKit.

1. Get the code via the directions at http://www.webkit.org/
2. Apply the monster patch.
3. Build webkit:  WebKitTools/Scripts/build-webkit --mathml
4. Run it:   WebKitTools/Scripts/run-safari

...or ask me for a pre-built binary.

Yeah, it isn't for the timid.

• Monster patch: [33703]
• Help define the initial target and roadmap.
• Testing (on the Mac).
• Develop test cases!
• Contact me at alex@milowski.com

• Not much is checked into the "trunk" of WebKit.
• Changes to WebKit are accomplished via "patches".
• ...small patches.
• They are reviewed and committed by a small number of individuals.
• My patches go through an even smaller set of "qualified" reviewers.
• That means the process is slow.

• MathML support on the mobile platform.
• MathML support in all WebKit based browsers.
• Implement a sufficient subset of MathML 2.0 necessary for displaying high school and college mathematics.
• Enable MathML support in forthcoming HTML5-based browsers.

• WebKit is the core browser technology in:
  • iphone & ipod touch,
  • andriod phones (e.g. t-mobile g-1),
  • safari, chrome, and many more browsers.
• It handles the rendering and interactivity for the whole web browsing experience.
• WebKit already supports HTML, XHTML, SVG, and CSS quite extensively.
