mathematics to be served, received, and processed on the World Wide

<p>This specification of the markup language MathML is intended
primarily for a readership consisting of those who will be
developing or implementing renderers or editors using it, or
software that will communicate using MathML as a protocol for input
or output. It is <em>not</em> a User's Guide but rather a reference
document.</p>
<p>This document begins with background information on mathematical
notation, the problems it poses, and the philosophy underlying the
solutions MathML 2.0 proposes. MathML can be used to encode both
mathematical notation and mathematical content. About thirty of the
MathML tags describe abstract notational structures, while another
about one hundred and fifty provide a way of unambiguously
specifying the intended meaning of an expression. Additional
chapters discuss how the MathML content and presentation elements
interact, and how MathML renderers might be implemented and should
interact with browsers. Finally, this document addresses the issue
of MathML characters and their relation to fonts.</p>
<p>While MathML is human-readable, it is anticipated that, in all
but the simplest cases, authors will use equation editors,
conversion programs, and other specialized software tools to
generate MathML. Several versions of such MathML tools already
exist, and a number of others, both freely available software and
commercial products, are under development.</p>

<p>This document begins with background information on mathematical

seventy-five provide a way of unambiguously specifying the intended
meaning of an expression. Additional chapters discuss how the

</h4>
<div class="expand_description">
<p>This Note examines the treatment of bound variables in Content
MathML. Bound variables are central representational primitives in
mathematical languages. They allow one to express functions,
quantification, and operators with qualifiers. The first edition of
the MathML 2.0 Recommendation [MathML2] was
somewhat vague about the identity conditions on bound variables,
and as a consequence Content MathML applications were left to guess
the exact meaning. This Note provides some of the rationale behind
how this has been clarified in the second edition [MathML22e].</p>
