we have been working on MathML interoperability across browser engines, making sure that formulas are rendered consistently regardless of your browser of choice.

i wrote about some of the highlights of our work and the challenges of contributing to three very different, large and opinionated codebases (Firefox, WebKit and Chromium). don't hesitate to leave any feedback or comment what you'd like to see next!

i am truly so happy to be able to work on open web standards alongside so many great people :blobhaj_tinyheart:

Right to left math formula with a fraction, parentheses, a square root and an integral. All of the operators are mirrored. This writing direction is used in Arabic.
A series of math formulas with nested exponents, indices or fractions. The variables in the nested formulas are progressively smaller.
Three clockwise integrals. The first is written left to right, while the other two are written right to left. The issue with the middle one is that it is just mirrored vertically, so the arrow goes in the other direction and it is actually counterclockwise. The third one is a different character that is mirrored but has the arrow going in the correct direction.
