Hi. Bruce Miller identified one possible goal for a Math-CSS model as: > (b) Should it leverage the core CSS, while minimally extending > it with those unique constructs needed to present mathematics? It is worth noting that there are several existing data point that give an idea of what is currently possible. One is the JavaScript/CSS rendering produced by David Carlisle's XSL stylesheet, available from http://www.w3.org/Math/XSL Another related project is jsMath, by Davide Cervone of Union College. jsMath produces a JavaScript/CSS rendering of plain TeX code, but the approach could be adapted to MathML. http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/ With a bit of effort, it might be possible to prepare a page so that it would take advantage of native rendering in browsers where it was available, and fallback to CSS/JavaScript otherwise. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Robert Miner RobertM@dessci.com W3C Math Interest Group Co-Chair 651-223-2883 Design Science, Inc.
