Hi John, > i see that the tests for character entities start first with > a jpeg showing a rendering of each character in the > group. but no mention is made of the system that > generated these characters -- this should be clearly > stated -- is it Amaya, Netscape, webeq or latex ??? The rendering is faked. It was made from the MML2 spec, and in turn, that was made from proprietary images from Unicode. There are a number of codepoints that don't have glyphs in *any* widely available fonts as far as I know, though there are a couple efforts underway to make comprehensive math fonts. > then there is the mathml tags to test a browser's rendering > but this code is surrounded by <pre> </pre> which > turns off rendering!!! So to use the page as a test > one must make a local copy and remove the <pre> element [snip] That is why there is a link directly to .mml and .xhtml versions of the tests. One needs all three -- so people can cut and paste from a web page into an external application, and so that browsers can be directly tested, both on straight MathML and MathML mixed with XHTML. Maybe we could make this clearer somehow. --Robert ---------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Miner email: RobertM@dessci.com Design Science, Inc. phone: 651-223-2883 http://www.dessci.com ----------------------------------------------------------------
