sMArTH is an equation editor for MathML and LaTeX built on open Web standards. The editor itself uses a SVG interface and the application logic is implemented in ECMAScript using the DOM. Both MathML and LaTeX are supported as exporting formats in addition to the SVG format. The most important mathematical content from both LaTeX and MathML is already provided. The graphical user interface allows even the most complex equations to be built with simple 'Point and Click' techniques instead of writing convoluted typesetting code.
System Requirements
You will need a SVG Viewer and a Unicode Font to be able to run sMArTH
properly. Because it is a web application based on a collection of open
standards, sMArTH is not tied to one particular implementation, vendor
or authoring tool. However, not all standards we employ are in
widespread use at this time, so we recommend you the tools that work
best with our application:
Recommended SVG Viewer: Adobe SVG Viewer (freeware) Link: http://www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/main.html
Recommended Unicode Font: Code2000 (shareware) Link: http://home.att.net/~jameskass/CODE2000.ZIP
Although sMArTH is a Web application you can also run it on your own machine. However, in order for this to work you will need to access it through a Web server with support for PHP. We recommend you the well-known open source Apache HTTP Server. If you are using Apache HTTP, once you have transferred sMArTH to your local machine you will only need to extract it to your htdocs directory and than access http://localhost/sMArTH.svg. If you try to run sMArTH locally but this prerequisite is not fulfilled you will not be able to save your equations.
