We at Design Science are excited about the 2 new math domains in DITA 1.3. We'll have a booth in the exhibit hall, and will be on hand to talk with you about best practices for your publishing workflow, to answer your questions, and to show you the available tools for authoring, display and accessibility of MathML. If you're not able to make the conference, feel free to contact us directly at any time.

We hope to see you in California!

We at Design Science are happy to announce that MathFlow 2.1 is now available! This update supports the newest versions of oXygen, XMetaL and Arbortext. Please contact Premium Support when you are ready to upgrade, evaluate, or if you have any questions: premiumsupport@dessci.com

We have released a beta version of MathFlow 2.1. It's available now for anyone using Arbortext Editor 6 or 7, or XMetaL Author 10 or 11. To download, go to MathFlow Beta Downloads. There's also a new beta version that works with oXygen.

Wikipedia recently changed its default so that not only does most math look better, but is also accessible by default. It used to be that by default, Wikipedia delivered math as PNG images. Here’s an example of what that looks like:

With PNGs, not only does the math not look very nice (wrong size and blurry), it isn’t accessible.

If you are using Microsoft Office 2016 for Windows, or if you have been waiting to upgrade Office until MathType was compatible, we're happy to announce there is a new update to MathType 6.9 that is compatible. If you own MathType 6.9 for Windows, download the free update. If your copy of MathType is older than version 6.9, you can purchase the upgrade from our website.

We just announced the release of the MathPlayer 4 public beta 2.

Design Science will be exhibiting and presenting at the LavaCon Conference in New Orleans October 18-21. If you want to learn the proper way to implement math with your content, this is a great opportunity to meet with the experts.

Design Science has partnered with eWebSoft, the makers of eWebEditor. eWebEditor is a Chinese WYSIWYG HTML editor that can be added to web-based tools.

We've blogged about MathML lots of times, so I'm sure I don't need to tell you why MathML is the way math should be written on the Web or why it is so important for accessibility. Instead, let me take this space to write about its history as a standard.
