==History==
Following some experiments in the [[Arena browser]] based on [https://www.w3.org/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_45.html proposals for mathematical markup in HTML], MathML 1 was released as a W3C recommendation in April 1998 as the first [[XML]] language to be recommended by the [[W3C]]. Version 1.01 of the format was released in July 1999 and version 2.0 appeared in February 2001. Implementations of the specification appeared in Mozilla 1.0 and Opera 9.5<ref>{{cite web|title=Mozilla 1.0 Released!|url=http://www.mozillazine.org/articles/article2278.html|date=5 June 2002|access-date=3 March 2023}}</ref><ref name="opera-kestrel">{{
MathML was originally designed before the finalization of [[XML namespace]]s. However, it was assigned a namespace immediately after the Namespace Recommendation was completed, and for XML use, the elements should be in the namespace with namespace URL <nowiki>http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML</nowiki>. When MathML is used in HTML (as opposed to XML) this namespace is automatically inferred by the HTML parser and need not be specified in the document.

===MathML Core===
In August 2021, a new specification called MathML Core was published, described as the “core subset of Mathematical Markup Language, or MathML, that is suitable for browser implementation.”<ref>{{cite web|title=MathML Core|url=https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/WD-mathml-core-20220504/#abstract|date=4 May 2022|access-date=3 March 2023}}</ref> MathML Core set itself apart from MathML 3.0 by including detailed rendering rules and integration with CSS, automated browser support testing resources, and focusing on a fundamental subset of MathML. An implementation was added to Chromium at the beginning of 2023.<ref name="igalia-chrome-109">{{cite web
