Mathjax backlog

We collect potential future features. Note: This is not a discussion area but a presentation area for review.

Completing MathML 3 support

implement the elementary math elements (mlongdiv, mstack etc)
- MML spec
- mlongdiv example,
- longdiv extension example
- add TeX macros to match
implement missing mtable attributes
- rowspan, colspan
allow HTML5 foreign content
- tolerate HTML in mtext
- switch to HTML parser
implement right-to-left support
improve linebreaking support
- align@id
- linebreaking characters
- linebreaking in token elements
- inline math linebreaking support
improve annotation-xml support
- embed annotations in a more HTML5 way (OA, ARIA etc)
- use specific annotations as preview (image, TeX etc)
implement in-table alignments

Use ShadowDOM/webcomponents to make MathJax appear as a seamless polyfill.

lazy typesetting extension
- typeset the viewport first, followed by rest of page
linebreaking for responsive design extension
- lazy typesetting after viewport size changes (tablet rotation etc)
- leveraging server-side preprocessing: using MathJax-node to produce MathML line-broken for desired viewport sizes, pick up viewport size before rendering, render the fitting equation
pre-loading extension
- prefetch remaining MathJax components after typesetting is complete
tiny fetcher script to check for math in the page and load MathJax
improve build tools
- evaluate switching to JS tools (grunt, gulp etc)
- simplify combined configuration building
- enable single-file builds
- investigate webservice for building combined configurations
investigate local storage
- load components into local storage See also Improve loading behavior

Improve UI (MathJax Menu) accessibility
- enable call of menu from keyboard navigation
- use modern ARIA
finalize discovery-mode of the UI
- haze
- marker
  - switch to hamburger icon? generic math symbol? (like sections on docs or github markdown)
- smoother menu interaction (roll under/over etc)
- optional permanent marker
speech-text extension
- collaborating with other open source solutions from Benetech or Google ChromeVox
embedding alternative source formats of math (TeX, MathML, OpenMath, computer algebra notation)
Add APIs for accessibility tools (AT) to interact with MathJax rendering as if it was native MathML. This includes
- handing MathML over to AT
- enable user navigation
- enable synchronized highlighting
- embed speech-text generation from AT
- interact with accessibility preferences coming from AT
- compatibility with user style sheets
Investigate ShadowDOM / web components potential for accessibility
improve copy&paste
- share mechanisms (webintents, mathproc://)
- microdata support (rdfa, schema.org)
- copy&paste with web components
menu extensions
- search menu (enabling math search engines such as symbolab, wolfram alpha, Springer LaTeX search etc)
Globally placed menu (incl. an accessibility menu for options such as "present speech-text" vs "present source" etc)

switch to CSS Font Loading Module Level 3 on Chrome 35+
supplementing character coverage
if the selected font does not cover a Unicode character, load a second font to provide it.
enable dev-tools to produce such "mixed" fontdata (e.g., "combine Font X with fallbacks from STIX-MathJax").
allow font mixing
- switch fonts within document (e.g., some equations use STIX, others Neo Euler perhaps depending on the CSS of their context (e.g., textbook problems vs solutions))
generic font support in HTML output
- Support for ubiquitous commercial fonts (local installation only)
  - Lucida Sans, Apple symbol fonts, Arial unicode

Create jqmath input jax
Improve asciimath input
- Improve asciimath to MathML converter
- Create asciimath to TeX converter
  - possibly using this one
Create MathJax-TeX-to-Content-MathML generator

improve our “tweaked” native MathML output that works around browser implementation deficiencies.
investigating new output formats
- canvas

expand internal format (e.g., with SVG)
move beyond MathML 3
- diagrams, graphs, etc.
- visualizations
- dynamic graphics (e.g., commutative diagram being drawn)
- enable manipulation of diagrammatic content (e.g. allow reader to rearrange nodes of a graph)

MathJax workshop / conference
MathJax community meetups
Math accessibility workshop (AIM)
MathJax in education (web literacy, authoring, annotation)
MathJax in authoring tool chains for research and publishing
Native browser MathML development in Gecko and WebKit
Develop a long term project that would allow for Gecko/Firefox and WebKit/Safari development.
