For a formula on its own line the preferred formatting is the LaTeX markup, with a possible exception for simple strings of Latin letters, digits, common punctuation marks, and arithmetical operators. Even for simple formulae the LaTeX markup might be preferred if required for uniformity within an article.
A mathematical markup language is a computer notation for representing mathematical formulae, based on mathematical notation.Specialized markup languages are necessary because computers normally deal with linear text and more limited character sets (although increasing support for Unicode is obsoleting very simple uses).
LaTeX (/ ˈ l ɑː t ɛ k / ⓘ LAH-tek or / ˈ l eɪ t ɛ k / LAY-tek, [2] [Note 1] often stylized as L a T e X) is a software system for typesetting documents. [3] LaTeX markup describes the content and layout of the document, as opposed to the formatted text found in WYSIWYG word processors like Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Microsoft Word.
The text-only form of the LaTeX can be set via user preferences at My Preferences – Appearance – Math. The hidden MathML can be used by screen readers and other assistive technology. To display the MathML in Firefox: Install the Native MathML extension; Or copy its CSS rules to your Wikipedia user stylesheet.

Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) – Guidelines for text encoding in the humanities, social sciences and linguistics. Textile (markup language) – Plaintext XHTML web text.
AMS-LaTeX is a collection of LaTeX document classes and packages developed for the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Its additions to LaTeX include the typesetting of multi-line and other mathematical statements, document classes, and fonts containing numerous mathematical symbols. [1] It has largely superseded the plain TeX macro package ...
Most symbols have two printed versions. They can be displayed as Unicode characters, or in LaTeX format. With the Unicode version, using search engines and copy-pasting are easier. On the other hand, the LaTeX rendering is often much better (more aesthetic), and is generally considered a standard in mathematics.
Copy-pasting of the inline mathematics images that are generated by LaTex markup will not work if the application into which you are pasting only accepts text. If an in-line formula needs to be typeset in LaTeX, often better formatting can be achieved by setting the display attribute to inline.
