The disadvantages of LaTeX are the following: On some browser configurations, LaTeX inline formulas appear with a slight vertical misalignment, or with a font size that may be slightly different from that of the surrounding text. This is not a problem with a block displayed formula, and also typically not with inline formulas that exceed the ...
The template is intended to be used for short LaTeX mathematical expressions like variables, and is useful for limiting awkward wrapping points. It is more cumbersome to use for equations or other expressions containing special signs that must be escaped or replaced, like the equal sign = with {{ = }} and the vertical pipe | with \vert , \mid ...
The use of Unicode characters for blackboard bold is discouraged in English Wikipedia; instead, either the LaTeX rendering (for example <math>\mathbb{Z}</math> or <math>\Z</math>) or standard bold fonts should be used. As with all such choices, each article should be consistent with itself, and editors should not change articles from one choice ...
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}},
Images do not usually have proper baseline alignment for inline math. Images do not change color when part of a link. Copy-paste as text duplicates the formula's source code, copy-paste as image is not supported in many programs e.g. Word. PNG: Robust. Little overhead in a browser. Native MathML: Robust and standard-compliant. Little overhead ...
In many cases breaking up a word with a space would be inappropriate. Soft hyphens also creates word-break opportunities, but will add a hyphen rather than a space. In other words, a soft hyphen is a hyphen inserted into a word not otherwise hyphenated, to be displayed or typeset only if it falls at the end of a line of text.
Since the inline text style math expressions are typically much simpler than stand-alone display style math expressions, I am quite confident that the {} template could get sophisticated enough to handle e.g. 99.99% of the cases with typographic quality comparable to LaTeX, without the drawbacks (wrong font, wrong vertical alignment, no ...
MathType is a graphical editor for mathematical equations, allowing entry with the mouse or keyboard in a full graphical WYSIWYG environment. [2] This contrasts to document markup languages such as LaTeX where equations are entered as markup in a text editor and then processed into a typeset document as a separate step.
