Thanks for the pointer to the source and documentation.
I took a look at this file but this sort of LaTeX coding is
way past my level of incompetence! I will be very happy if
or when you have time to modify it to create a jsmath mode! :)
In the meantime I did download and install Tex4ht on the
Axiom-developer web server to try to gain some understanding
of how to use it. I installed the Debian version:
'tex4ht_20050402.1817-1_i386.deb' from your web site.
I tried it in MathML mode on several files. Some are nearly
ok, i.e. they display properly in Firefox with only minimal
hand editing of a dozen misplaced <msub> </msub> start and
end tags. But our "acid test" - a pamphlet file called
'dhmatrix.spad.pamphlet', which can be processed by dvipdfm
to a good quality pdf file - fails quite miserably with many
oddly placed MathML tags ... :( As a result I gave up trying
to hand edit it to get the browser simply to parse the XML.
In fact of those TeX to HTML/MathML systems that I have tried
so far, Hevea, Tth, and Tex4ht; none have successfully processed
this file in a manner that I would judge to be acceptable to an
online reader.
So, for now I guess I remain stuff with making due with the
Acrobat browser plug-in.
Best regards,
Bill Page.
