## User stories

### Using MathJax outside the DOM
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developers want to use MathJax outside the DOM for testing. MathJax depends on the DOM and parts of its functionality does not make sense outside the DOM. We want to enable MathJax outside the DOM to the extent possible and provide APIs for [servers-side javascript implementations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_server-side_JavaScript_solutions).
|
|
|
|
* possibly using [this one](http://dlippman.imathas.com/asciimathtex/AMT.html)
|
|
|
|
* Create MathJax-TeX-to-Content-MathML generator
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Testing speed
|
|
|
|
### Output improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Authors want to know how fast MathJax should be. Authors and Developers want to track down performance bottlenecks.
|
|
|
|
* improve our “tweaked” native MathML output that works around browser implementation deficiencies.
|
|
|
|
* investigating new output formats
|
|
|
|
* canvas
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We want to be able to test speed enhancements.

|
|
|
|
|
|
### Accessibility
|
|
|
|
* expand internal format 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)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users want their AT tools to pick up MathJax-generated content just as well as regular MathML.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AT vendors want to use a robust API to seamlessly integrate with MathJax rendering. This currently includes User preference negotiation, Highlighting, Sync-Highlighting and copy & paste.
|
|
|
|
### Extensions
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Open source solutions (like Benetech's prototype or possibly ChromeVox) want to integrate into MathJax to provide math speech text and other data for passive AT on mobile platforms.
|

### Internal Testing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### TeX input enhancements
|
|
|
|
* improve fuzz testing
|
|
|
|
* integrating MathJax testing into other testing environments
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Authors want the convenience of TeX packages in MathJax.
|
|
|
|
### Outreach activities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Authors want to easily input commutative diagrams.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Authors want easy ways to input diagrams like xypics, pstricks and tikz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Users want documentation for writing TeX input extensions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Speed related enhancements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Authors don't want to worry about very large equations locking up the browser while rendering. Similarly, community driven content can't afford to have a page lock up because of "vandalism" with huge MathML equations. Compare: [#425], [#409] |
