mathJax is a port and frontend of MathJax for use on Wikipedia. It was created out of dissatisfaction with the current state of maths formatting:
- Aliased PNG bitmap graphics.
- Too large font for inline maths with people using hacks like \scriptstyle in consequence.
- Wrong baseline for inline maths.
- No scaling of graphics with user-configured font sizes.
- Little control over when HTML over PNG rendering is selected by the backend depending on the selected user preferences for math display (six different settings!).
- Wrongly implemented symbols in the texvc rendering backend.
- And finally, inconsistencies due to some people preferring HTML over TeX and vice versa.
This user script is being taken as the basis to implement global MathJax support in the MediaWiki software.
