\section{Textual Mathematics}  Authorea supports writing of web-first scientific texts in MarkDown (via Pandoc \cite{pandoc}) and LaTeX (via LaTeXML \cite{Ginev_2011}). Both utilize the battle-proven {\LaTeX} syntax for mathematical content, formulas,  which has become the ubiquitous approach to entering mathematics on the web. In order to display the equations in all modern browsers, Authorea relies on the MathJaX polyfill engine \cite{Cervone_2012}, as there are still browsers which do not yet natively render MathML, the mathematics sub-standard in HTML5. Using web-born mathematics has already allowed us to add editing-oriented math services, such as a math-aware word count and MathJaX's math clipboard.
