Browser Compatibility¶

Extensive browser support is an important goal for MathJax. At the same time, MathJax does require a certain minimum level of browser functionality.

Our extensive MathJax test suite tests every MathJax release for regressions on all major browsers.

Please comment in the MathJax User Group or file issues on GitHub if you notice inaccuracies or problems.

It usually helps to add screenshots for which we suggest services such as browsershots.org, saucelabs.com, or browserstack.com.

HTML-CSS Output¶

The HTML-CSS Output supports Internet Explorer 6 (and above) as well as all modern browsers (Firefox 3+, Safari 2+, Chrome 0.2+).

The CommonHTML Output supports Internet Explorer 8 (and above) as well as all modern browsers.

The SVG Output supports Internet Explorer 9 (and above) as well as all modern browsers.

The following list describes the browsers that were originally tested with MathJax’s HTML-CSS output.
