Version 3 is now the current version of MathJax. This document is for version 2.

EPUB3 Reading systems overview

With EPUB3, MathML has become part of the EPUB standard. All EPUB3 reading systems rely on regular browser engines to render EPUB content. This means they face the same (lack of) MathML support as browsers do.

Some EPUB reading systems leverage MathJax to provide MathML support without having to wait for browser engines to catch up.

For general information on EPUB 3 support, check Epubtest.org.
