Abstract. Implementation of an editing process for Content MathML formulas in common visual style is a real challenge for a software de-veloper who does not really want the user to have to understand the structure of Content MathML in order to edit an expression, since it is expected that users are often not that technically minded. In this paper, we demonstrate how this aim is achieved in the context of the Formula-tor project and discuss features of this MathML editor, which provides a user with a WYSIWYG editing style while authoring MathML doc-uments with Content or mixed markup. We also present the approach taken to enhance availability of the MathML editor to end-users, demon-strating an online version of the editor that runs inside a Web browser. Key words: Content MathML, mathematical formula, natural editing of alge-braic expressions, model-based editor, online MathML equation editor 1
