--------------------------------------------------------- Item 8 / accents TeX: \tilde s, \widetilde {s+t} Wolfram: s^^˜, {s+t}^^˜ MINSE: Display-List (S): <moverscript>s<mc>˜</moverscript>, <moverscript>s+t<mc>˜</moverscript> Display-List (MS): ISO 12083: s<top>˜</top>, <subform>s+t</subform><top>˜</top> Notes: 1. Two of the fields are left blank because I'm uncertain as to how accents will (or might) be specified in these situations. I know Rob and Neil added an "<maccent>" element to their display-list specification. In the case of MINSE, I'm also uncertain of the underlying display language used to render a diacritic. 2. My reading of the ISO 12083 DTD hasn't uncovered a means of specifying whether the tilde sizes to the width of an embellished subformula. I think we also have yet to specify how this is done with the Wolfram notation. 3. Would it be possible in the Wolfram approach to define a unary prefix operator, say "\ttrans", so that "\ttrans s" and "\ttrans{s+t}" effectively place tildes over the following arguments? I ask this since I'm thinking the situation is similar to the case of font changes which Neil and I have discussed, and it appeared that it would be problematic to parse "\ttrans +" as a binary infix operator similar to "+" itself. I'm guessing for now that one would have to use "<mo>\ttrans +</mo>" to get it right (also adding appropriate information about the precedence level of the new operator). But I assume "+^^˜" would parse as a binary infix operator. 4. Dave, how do you envision accents being handled?Received on Friday, 16 August 1996 16:26:45 UTC
