MathML Entity References
Most of the MathML entities that WebEQ recognizes are nearly identical to the WebTeX symbols: To write a
WebTeX symbol such as \alpha in a form used by MathML,
remove the initial backslash and add an ampersand to the beginning and a
semi-colon to the end of the word. Thus, \alpha becomes α

The names of the rest of the symbols can be found in the WebTeX
documentation.
Characters from the Blackboard Bold, Calligraphic, and Fraktur fonts may be
specified as follows:
| Blackboard Bold
| &Bbb_A; &Bbb_B;
&Bbb_C; ...
|
| Calligraphic
| &Cal_A; &Cal_B;
&Cal_C; ...
|
| Fraktur Upper Case
| &frak_A; &frak_B;
&frak_C; ...
|
| Fraktur Lower Case
| &frak_a; &frak_b;
&frak_c; ...
|
Note that the Blackboard Bold and Calligraphic fonts only contain upper-case
letters.
Some entities in MathML have alternate names besides those that correspond to
WebTeX. These synonyms are listed below.
