RE: [Axiom-developer] HyperDoc as static HTML

[Page, Bill]

Kai,

This is looking great!

Here are some initial questions and suggestions.

Could you suggest some links to pages that contain jsMath? I quickly
browsed a bunch of pages and the only math I saw was in "ASCII"
format. Perhaps you have not loaded the jsMath directory on your
server? I see a reference to:

   <script src="jsMath/jsMath.js" 

But I can't seem to find jsMath/jsMath.js on you server.

On the page:

http://kaikaminski.gmxhome.de/hyper/ugIntroCalcDerivPage.html

I see some "PATCH NOT FOUND!" messages in RED such as:

What is it supposed to be?

I presume these are things like the \lispdownlink{...} ? For
example

   \lispdownlink{Matrix}{(|bcMatrix|)} Create a matrix

You might try running this command manually or via a pipe in
Axiom like this:

  echo ')lisp (|bcMatrix|)' | AXIOMsys

and capture any usable output.

Thanks for sharing this. I think this is a really good effort.

How/when (or if?) would you like errors to be reported to you?
