| Test ID | Name | Description | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mathml-010 | Navigating block MathML with assistive technology and other technologies | The test checks if block MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies. | Pass | Works fine. |
| mathml-020 | Navigating inline MathML with assistive technology and other technologies | The test checks if inline MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies. | Pass | Works fine. |
| math-image-030 | Navigating Block Math images followed by Summary/Details with MathML | The test checks if block MathML works with assistive technology and related technologies in a HTML Summary/Details as an option to get at the native MathML. | Pass | Works well. |
| math-image-040 | Navigating Inline Math images followed by commented out MathML | This test shows an inline math expression as an image with only alt-text describing the math equation. This is not ideal but if a publisher can not use raw mathML directly this is an option for reprocessing in the future. | Pass | Works as expected. |
