We collect potential features. This is not a discussion area but a presentation area for review. Each feature should be accompanied by a short description outlining its purpose and functionality (possibly [a user story](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_story)).

The future development tasks for MathJax fall into three broad
|
|
|
categories that are closely intertwined.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Continuing the original project goals
|
|
|
2. Adapting to the constantly evolving state of art on the web
|
|
|
3. Expanding our goals
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following is out of our development backlog. The color codes
|
|
|
indicate how they relate to the overall goals. The asterisks give an
|
|
|
indication of each deliverable’s complexity.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Completing the MathML implementation
|
|
