# AsciiMath LaTeX MathML Equation Converter

Convert equations between AsciiMath, LaTeX and MathML: auto-detect the input format, produce canonical LaTeX, presentation MathML with an embedded TeX annotation, a best-effort AsciiMath back-translation, a screen-reader aria-label snippet (role=math), and a KaTeX HTML preview.

## Overview

Conversion chain: AsciiMath→LaTeX via asciimath2tex; LaTeX→MathML via temml; MathML→LaTeX via mathml-to-latex; MathML→AsciiMath is a best-effort recursive walk over presentation MathML. The canonical LaTeX string is offered as the aria-label on a role=math wrapper. Only Presentation MathML is produced. The KaTeX preview renders server-side; front-end display requires katex.min.css.

## Inputs

- **Equation source** (textarea): AsciiMath: sum\_(i=1)^n (i^3) LaTeX: \\frac{a+1}{\\sqrt{b}} MathML: ab
- **Input format** (select)
- **Block display (displaystyle)** (checkbox): Render as a display/block equation rather than inline.
- **Embed LaTeX annotation** (checkbox): Wrap MathML in with an carrying the LaTeX source.
- **Add aria-label (screen readers)** (checkbox): Expose the canonical LaTeX through aria-label on a role=math wrapper.
- **Render KaTeX preview** (checkbox): Server-side KaTeX HTML+MathML preview (front-end needs katex.min.css).

## When to use

- Convert an AsciiMath expression into canonical LaTeX and presentation MathML.
- Turn MathML fractions and other presentation MathML structures into LaTeX.
- Prepare accessible equation markup with a role=math wrapper and LaTeX aria-label.

## How it works

- Enter an equation in the input field using AsciiMath, LaTeX, or MathML.
- Choose Auto-detect or specify the input format manually.
- Select options for block display, TeX annotation, aria-label output, and KaTeX preview.
- The converter generates an HTML report with the detected format and available equation representations.

## Use cases

- Convert classroom or research equations between text-based notation and web-ready MathML.
- Create LaTeX-to-MathML markup with an embedded TeX annotation for source preservation.
- Add a screen-reader-friendly math snippet and inspect a KaTeX HTML preview.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which equation formats does the converter support?

It supports AsciiMath, LaTeX, and MathML input.

### Can the input format be detected automatically?

Yes. Auto-detect is the default input format option.

### What type of MathML is produced?

The converter produces presentation MathML.

### Is the AsciiMath output an exact reverse conversion?

No. MathML-to-AsciiMath output is a best-effort back-translation and may lose details in complex structures.

### What does the accessibility option add?

It exposes the canonical LaTeX through an aria-label on a role=math wrapper.
