Here's a guy who, rather than bemoaning the lack of HTML math, rolled up his sleeves and built something. Not only that: he did the 3x more work that it takes to make it usable by others. I can tell you that, as a result, this is having real influence on the design of HTML math. Is anybody using it? I would expect to see questions about it, and I don't see them. I've looked at MINSE, and so has Dave Raggett. I think the design is really clean and elegant. Ping: what did Dave say about it? I forget. I would hope that folks could look beyond the fact that you currently have to use inline GIFs to use this system, and see the value of the design. >> I ***DON'T*** want plug-ins, inline gifs or what-have-you. latex2html does >> that job more than well enough (sorry Ping, but your stuff is useless to me >> because of this, as far as I could see). > >I don't expect my system to be implemented in the long run with plug-ins or >mediators. But since major browser makers have done nothing towards this end, >they are the only way to make the service accessible to all browsers right now >. Has anybody looked at putting MINSE suport in something like grail? It's a reasonably hackable browser. http://www.python.org/ Dan
