    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_markup_language

    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).

    A function f is even if and only if f(−x) = f(x) for all x; write A function f is even if f(−x) = f(x) for all x. If it is reasonable to do so, rephrase the sentence to avoid the use of the word "if" entirely. For example, An even function is a function f such that f(−x) = f(x) for all x
