The goal of MathJax, however, is for scientists to be able to continue using the familiar LaTeX syntax in their works and have them presented in a way on the Web that is both very compatible (as opposed to e. g. MathML, unfortunately) and easily readable (for the scientific community) *without* the author having to maintain its HTML representation as well.
