Hi. > One little question... Can you just use the XHTML+SVG+MathML DTD and > directly embed MathML into documents, or do they need to be in <object> > tags? The current version of MathPlayer only works in the context of an XML island within an HTML document. The MathML is embedded directly in the document, but you do need an <object> tag in the document header to load MathPlayer. See http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/authoring.htm Since Netscape/Mozilla only support MathML in XML, and IE only supports it in HTML, currently the best strategy is to use an XSL stylesheet to transform the document into the appropriate form on the client. See http://www.w3.org/Math/XSL/ Shortly, we will begin beta testing MathPlayer 2.0 which will remove the limitation that the document must be HTML. Basically, MathPlayer 2.0 sniffs for incoming XHTML + MathML + ... documents and automatically performs a transformation like the one the XSL stylesheet does. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Robert Miner RobertM@dessci.com MathML 2.0 Specification Co-editor 651-223-2883 Design Science, Inc.
