41 <h1>OpenGL 2.1 Reference Pages</h1>
42
43 <p>Use the index at the left to choose any GL, GLU, or GLX reference page for viewing. The reference pages
44 (also known as "man pages") include all of the important usage information for each command. This
45 information includes a description of all parameters, return values, error conditions, and related
46 commands.</p>
47
48 <h2>Browser Compatibility</h2>
49
50 <p>Many of the reference pages depend on relatively complex math equations. We've chosen the industry
51 standard, MathML, for rendering our equations. This standard is gaining widespread support, but there
52 are still some growing pains. Here's what you can expect from different browsers:</p>
53 <ul>
54
55 <li><b>Firefox 1.5+</b>: native support is built-in! Firefox 3.0 will offer the best rendering quality
56 of all currently available browsers if you install the
57 <a target="_new" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/stix/STIXBeta.zip">STIX fonts</a>.
58 Older versions of Firefox may outright complain about missing fonts without some mild interventions.
59 See <a target="_new" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/">this page</a> for tips on
60 maximizing your MathML rendering experience on Firefox.</li>
61 <br /><br />
62
63 <li><b>Internet Explorer 6</b>: no native support, but you'll be automatically prompted to install the
64 <a target="_new" href="http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/">Design Science MathPlayer</a> plugin which
65 renders our equations beautifully.</li>
66 <br /><br />
67
68 <li><b>Internet Explorer 7+</b>: works out of the box with CSS-based MathML support, but the rendering
69 is sub-optimal. We highly recommend installing the
70 <a target="_new" href="http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/">Design Science MathPlayer</a> plugin.</li>
71 <br /><br />
72
73 <li><b>Opera 9.5+</b>: native support is limping along, but don't rely on it rendering correctly yet.</li>
74 <br /><br />
75
76 <li><b>Safari</b> and <b>Chrome</b>: no native support and no known add-ons. Sorry!</li>
77
78 </ul>
79
80 <h2>Downloading Man Page Sources</h2>
81
82 <p> The Docbook XML source for the man pages is available for anonymous
83 checkout in Khronos' Subversion server, and you can build a man page
84 distribution of your own using open source tools. See the OpenGL.org
85 technical Wiki pages describing the <a
86 href="http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_started/XML_Toolchain_and_Man_Pages">
87 XML Toolchain and Man Pages</a> for more information. </p>
88
89 <h2>Feedback</h2>
90
91 <p> If you find any inaccuracies or typos in the reference pages, don't
92 hesitate to inform us via the <a target="_new"

94 form</a> or using the <a target="_new"
