Hi. > - How can entities as é or ± be recognized ? As I > write in french, having no accent is awkward even for ordinary text. > What needs to be added to the example file below (I only use > presentation MathML) ? I tried to add : PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML > 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN' > 'http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/xhtml-math11-f.dtd' in the DOCTYPE > part of the file below. It solves the problem for Mozilla, but not > for IE which doesn't like it. There are a couple of ways to go here. First, in IE6 service pack 2 the XML parser bug that prevented the xhtml-math11-f.dtd from working is fixed. However, since many people probably won't have that upgrade yet, another route is to make up a private DOCTYPE that declares the entity names you want to use right there in your document. In other words, a document like this seems to work for me on both platforms: ------------------------ <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xsl/mathml.xsl"?> <!DOCTYPE MMLEntities [ <!ENTITY alpha "α"> <!ENTITY esdot "≐"> ]> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:m = "http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" > <head> <title>test</title> </head> <body> <h1>Math with Entities!</h1> <m:math> <m:mi>α</m:mi> <m:mo>≐</m:mo> <m:mfrac> <m:mi>x</m:mi> <m:mi>y</m:mi> </m:mfrac> </m:math> </body></html> ------------------------ > - Is there a way to select MathPlayer as MathML renderer on IE, but > CSS on Mozilla ? Or can one define an ordered list : MathPlayer > first, CSS second, for instance ? The ordered list is more or less built in, but there without changing the XSL, there isn't an easy way to change it. The relevant part of the stylesheet is the definition of the "activex" parameters and associated rules around line 200 of pmathml.xsl. But it's pretty finicky if you aren't fairly comfortable with XSL. > - The attribute : display='block' isn't interpreted correctly > with IE. Is this normal ? What is the incorrect behavior you are seeing? There has been a fair amount of discussion over what the correct behavior is. But unfortunately Roger Sidje's initial interpretation became frozen in Netscape 7 before we noticed that we had taken a different approach with MathPlayer. In the final version of MathPlayer, we therefore reluctantly changed MathPlayer's behavior to match Netscape 7 in the MathPlayer 1.0 release. So if you are seeing a different behavior, we would like to try to get to the bottom of it. Can you please describe the problem you are seeing in detail, and maybe post a sample file illustrating it? Thanks. > - Will the files pmathml.xls and pmathmlcss.xls change in the > future? If so, could there be a 'official' web page, where we could > check the version and download them if necessary ? It is nearly certain that the stylesheets will continue to change from time to time in response to bug reports and browser changes. The official page for them is: http://www.w3.org/Math/XSL
