Hi Fernando, The LeTeX Zwiki enhancement has already been proposed by Janet, and I will be implementing it on SciPy.org in the next couple of days. We'll see how it works out. Fernando Perez wrote:

What is the advantage of this over ASCIIMathML? http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/asciimath.html Thanks, Alan Isaac

I have no idea. I simply passed the message on as possibly useful info, sorry for not having more detail. Best, f

One of the benefits of mimeTeX and the LatexWiki product that Joe mentioned is that it renders to an image and not MathML. MathML has less browser support than images. In particular, *my* browser, Firefox on the Mac, does not support MathML. :-) -- Robert Kern rkern@ucsd.edu "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter

Ouch. This sounds a bit serious. We don't want our Mac friends to be unable to read our Web pages. Is this Firefox 1.0? -- Stephen Walton <stephen.walton@csun.edu> Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, CSU Northridge

Yes. There's a bug in the font handling that's been in there for about a year. No one seems to know how to fix it. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228804 -- Robert Kern rkern@ucsd.edu "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter

Sorry but: Are you sure? Mozilla is apparently working: http://mathforge.net/index.jsp?page=seeReplies&messageNum=555 Maybe it is a font issue? Not a Mac user (sadly), Alan Isaac
