Equations copied from Apple Pages not appearing in Safari

I copied the equation from Apple Workspace platform like Apple Pages. Pasting it, It didn't show up in Safari browser.

What should I do when I want to paste the equation copied from Apple Workspace platform like Apple Pages?

An equation in Pages is a very specific, embedded MathML data object. It is not an image, nor is it a PDF data object. You can copy/paste this equation data object between compatible versions of Pages, Numbers, or Keynote documents where Apple purposely supports it. Safari expects a compatible image or PDF, so no go for browsers.


There are dedicated Internet sites that allow you to generate LaTeX or MathML equations and provide image or PDF download options. Google "Math Equation builder" and several sites are shown. I have no recommendation for any of them as I have MacTeX 2025 installed.
