How can I write mathematical notation (ital, sub/sup script, greek letters) in and html page. I need this letters to be inline. I tried wrapping them with <MI></MI> or <MATH></MATH> but it didn't work. Is mathml need some additional software installed on the server or additional browser feature?

Thanks

    @Gaby I'm more interested in the MathML rap. Could be a hit. Commented May 29, 2011 at 11:11

If you want to do it in markup, you'll need MathML. However, browser support is very limited.

Currently, the only major browser to support it is Firefox.

You can test whether your browser supports it in this jsfiddle (code borrowed from the Wikipedia article on MathML).

This site has what seems to be a pretty decent introduction to the syntax of MathML, if you aren't familiar with it.

Got it, I'm using symbol entities instead.

You can use the MathJax javascript library. The Math stackexchange site uses it too.
