The math template formats mathematical formulas generated using HTML or wiki markup. (It does not accept the AMS-LaTeX markup that <math> does.) The template uses the texhtml class by default for inline text style formulas, which aims to match the size of the serif font with the surrounding sans-serif font (see below).
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.
The template is meant to be used with alphabetic text, typically one or a few capital letters. If the body contains an exposed equals-sign ("="), it will fail to render. For example, the following template use produces no result: {{mathcal|P=NP}}. There are two ways to resolve this. Method 1: Start the body with "1=", as in: {{mathcal|1=P=NP}},
Formulas in HTML behave more like regular text. In-line HTML formulae always align properly with the rest of the HTML text and, to some degree, can be copied-and-pasted (this is not a problem if TeX is rendered using MathJax, and the alignment should not be a problem for PNG rendering now that bug 32694 is fixed).
The following sections cover the way of presenting simple inline formulae in HTML, instead of using LaTeX. Templates supporting HTML formatting are listed in Category:Mathematical formatting templates. Not all templates are recommended for use; in particular, use of the {} template to format fractions is discouraged in mathematics articles.
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to expanded, meaning that it is fully visible. To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{ Math templates | state = collapsed }} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.

It offers a user-friendly interface, extensive mathematical typesetting, rich text formatting, document structure organization, collaborative editing, and extensibility. It combines the convenience of a graphical editor with the typesetting capabilities of LaTeX. HTML, LaTeX, MathML, PDF, Postscript Yes TexPoint: No Yes No Yes Yes No No No
