1. Introduction

XMLmind XML Editor natively supports MathML 2.0 presentation markup[1] by the means of an add-on called "MathML support".

If you are interested in adding equations to your XML documents, you need to make sure that the "MathML support" add-on has been installed. This is done using menu item "OptionsInstall Add-ons".

This MathML add-on:

How, in practice, to add equations to your XML documents is described in How to add equations to your XML documents. The precise contents of the add-on is detailed in Appendix B, Contents of the "MathML support" add-on.

Native support means that MathML elements are treated like any other element. That is, XMLmind XML Editor does not embed a specialized math editor. On the contrary, all commands, all kinds of selection, work fine with MathML elements. However, using the generic commands requires you to learn MathML. If you don't want to do that, for example, because you just want to type a couple of equations, then simply use the MathML tool which is installed by the add-on just below the Edit tool, at the top/right of the main window. Using the MathML tool is explained in Section 3, “Using the MathML tool”.
