21                <p> EGL&trade; is an interface between Khronos rendering
22                    APIs such as OpenGL ES or OpenVG and the underlying
23                    native platform window system. It handles graphics
24                    context management, surface/buffer binding, and
25                    rendering synchronization and enables high-performance,
26                    accelerated, mixed-mode 2D and 3D rendering using other
27                    Khronos APIs. </p>
28                <p> The reference pages describe EGL 1.5, but can be used
29                    with earlier versions since each page notes when
30                    features are available only starting with specific older
31                    versions (1.2, 1.3, and 1.4). </p>
32                <p> A more detailed overview of EGL functionality and
33                    technical concepts can be found in the <a

38                <h2>Browser Compatibility</h2>
39                <p> The reference pages are now generated in HTML5 format.
40                    Some pages contain imbedded MathML and rely on <a
41                    href="http://www.mathjax.org/">MathJax</a> to render
42                    mathematical equations on browsers which do not natively
43                    support MathML. This should work much better on Chrome,
44                    Safari, and other browsers which don't support MathML.
45                    </p>
46                <p> However, HTML5 isn't well supported on IE 8 or earlier
47                    versions. We recommend you use a more recent browser for
48                    viewing the reference pages. </p>

52                <p> The Docbook source for the reference pages is available
53                    in the <a

56                    build a ref page distribution of your own using open
57                    source tools. See the <a
