I hope so. While typographic correctness may be less important than the ability to represent math, it is certainly not unimportant. There are hundreds or thousands of designers out there trying to make decent looking Web pages, despite the fact that SGML and its descendents try to remove all typographic control from the author. Good design is part of communication. You can flout centuries of typographic design practice if you wish, but then please limit the use of fonts to monospaced, typewriter fonts like Courier. Then the absence of proper quotation marks would not be so evident. -pd -------- Peter Davis "Education is not the 617/873-4145 BBN Educational Technologies filling of a pail, but FAX: 617/873-2455 70 Fawcett Street the lighting of a fire." pdavis@bbn.com Cambridge, MA 02138 -- W.
