Hi all, Just a quick feedback on the unicode.xml file provided in the "XML Entity Definitions for Characters" spec: - Some characters have mathclass="R?" (with a question mark)... I guess that's because the mathclass is not clear, but it is unexpected for someone who wants to process the file automatically... - Some Arabic Letters (U+0627-U+063A and Arabic mathematical alphabetic symbol) should probably have mathclass="A" since they are used as mathematical variables. - Some LaTeX commands map to different Unicode code points. For example \mathsfbf{\Alpha} maps to both the capital and small (bold sans-serif) alpha, which is clearly wrong (one should be \mathsfbf{\alpha}). See the attached diff files for details. They were generated using the attached XSLT stylesheet and the Unix command "xsltproc extract.xsl unicode.xml | sort --key=2,2 > commands1.txt; cat commands1.txt | uniq --skip-chars=7 > commands2.txt ; diff -U8 commands1.txt commands2.txt > commands.diff". -- Frédéric Wang MathML Crowdfunding: ulule.com/mathematics-ebooks
