This talk will present what is happening in the "HTML-Maths" working group of the World Wide Web Consortium. The goal of this working group (according to its official charter) is to develop an open specification for math to be used with HTML that is suitable for teaching and scientific communication, is easy to learn and to edit by hand for basic math notation, is well suited to template and other math editing techniques and that, insofar as possible, allows conversion to and from other math formats (both presentational and semantic, such as TeX and computer algebra systems).
We will report on the various issues that we face: the syntax of maths, presentation vs semantics (and the possible use of OpenMath for representing the mathematical objects), macros, XML compliance, the deployment strategy and implementation problems.
