Vincent, > XHTML version: in the source code of expression 1+...+n string "..." > is missing. It is not so much missing as removed. The XSL stylesheet used for the XHTML version is mechanically generated (by XSL) from the stylesheet for HTML, with a couple of additional templates. One of them removes the string "..." from examples. This was added because ... is sometimes used as "meta markup" in examples such as the following from the same chapter: <mpadded width="+0em"> ... </mpadded> (mpadded doesn't take character data content, the ... here is denoting ellided MathML markup) Automatically removing the ... ensured the generated file was valid for the xhtml+mathml DTD, but perhaps it was not the best idea I ever had, and also it messes up the example that you quoted. We will certainly fix this, I suggest we delete the template which removes "..." and then mark up the examples which have the meta-usage of ... as being not literal mathml (there is an existing attribute for this purpose), this makes no difference to the HTMl generating stylesheet, but the XHTMl one will not in that case copy the examples inline into the generated XHTML. Thanks for reporting this.
