(Fwd) Re: WebMath: Fwd: Math on the Web: A Status Report

[Paul Libbrecht]

Thanks,

Turns out the test fails on my MSIE 5.0.1 MacOSX and OmniWeb 4.0 (I know 
this not very comprehensive): even on the home page, THT's first line is 
too "deep" and makes it irregular, that's precisely the deep trouble.

The strategy to use <sup> and <sub>, <table> and Unicode symbols with, 
possibly a few Symbol font's characters (as I understand ThT does it) is 
actually precisely what we use in ActiveMath (see 
http://www.activemath.org) and we are not too happy of it. In particular 
roots are rather poorly rendered.

Please note that I do not expect any kind of MathML plugin (even the 
"behaviour" of Design Science) to succeed here. I may be wrong and would 
love to hear it (CSS might be the trick)...

Thanks for the link it contains interesting surveys.

Paul
