MathML presentation elements suggest specific ways of rendering in order to allow for individual preferences of style. This specification describes suggested visual rendering rules in some detail, but a particular MathML renderer is free to use its own rules as long as its renderings are intelligible. The presentation elements are meant to express the syntactic structure of mathematical notation in much the same way as titles, sections, and paragraphs capture the higher-level syntactic structure of a textual document. An equation created as presentation MathML is unlikely to be fed into a construct program, as the information is likely mathematically inaccurate.

To create MathML from your document, open the MathMonarch Control Center, select your source, and select "MathML" as your destination.

You will see the MathML options window presented. Below is a description of each target option:

MathML 2.0 Content:Activates Comprehensive Heuristicts Technology (CHaT), creating mathematically accurate equations. MathML 2.0 Presentation (no namespace): Creates presentation MathML with no namespace. Use this for clean, type free MathML. MathML 2.0 Presentation (custom namespace):Allows for the use of a custom namespace, defined by the user. Use this option if you have developed a namespace or choose to link it to a different namespace.

Other options include:

prepare for MathPlayer: Prepares your document for MathPlayer presentation. Note that due to the usage of the MathPlayer namespace, any custom namespace will be overridden. Your document will be saved as HTML with MathML islands nested inside. You will be given the option to view the new document. create error log: Gives a detailed description of any conversion errors encountered during the conversion process. You will be prompted to view this log if errors exist.
