You can insert a MathML Element in an HTML document by inserting the MathML XML document directly any where in the HTML document.

Here is a simple example of inserting a MathML element inside an HTML document. Save it in a file called, Square-Root.html.

<html><body>
<pre>The value of square root of 2 is:
</pre>
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
<mrow>
  <msqrt><mn>2</mn></msqrt> <mo>=</mo> <mn>1.4142135623731</mn>
</mrow>
</math>
</body></html>

When you open the above HTML file, Square-Root.html, in a Web browser, you see the MathML element is rendered as mathematical expression nicely:

The value of square root of 2 is:


  2 = 1.4142135623731


Note that the namespace declaration xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" is optional when inserting MathML document into an HTML document directly.
