Using the [[JavaScript]] script ASCIIMathML.js, ASCIIMathML [[markup language|markup]] is converted to [[MathML]] at the time the page is loaded by the browser, natively in [[Mozilla Firefox]] and via a plug-in in [[IE7]]. The simplified markup language supports a subset of the [[LaTeX]] language instructions, as well as a much less verbose syntax (which, for example, replaces "\times" with "xx" to produce the "×" symbol). Both syntaxes are vastly less verbose than the raw MathML. The resulting MathML mathematics can be styled by applying [[CSS]] to class "mstyle".
The script ASCIIMathML.js is freely available under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License]].{{Citation needed}} The latest version also includes support for [[SVG]] graphics, natively in [[Mozilla Firefox]] and via a plug-in in [[IE7]].
Per May 2009 there is a new version available. This new version still contains the original ASCIIMathML and LaTeXMathML as developed by Peter Jipsen, but the ASCIIsvg part has been extended with linear-logarithmic, logarithmic-linear, logarithmic-logarithmic, polar graphs and pie charts, normal and stacked bar charts, different functions like integration and differentiation and a series of event trapping functions, buttons and sliders, in order to create interactive lecture material and exams online in web pages.
