ASCIIMathML #9

Closed fletcher closed 13 years ago

fletcher commented 13 years ago

I've really been trying to put a lot of thought into what to do with this. Key points:

  1. Most people don't use math in any fashion
  2. People who are more comfortable with LaTeX tend to use LaTeX for their math.
  3. A few people do use ASCIIMath to include simple formulas - I'm not sure how much goes to HTML and how much goes to LaTeX output.
  4. MMD 2 uses someone else's code to convert text to mathml, and then another person's work to convert mathml to latex.
  5. It would take a lot of work for me to rewrite this to be compatible MMD 3 natively.

So I welcome ideas, and will continue to think about a reasonable solution.

Decided to go with a solution that allows LaTeX syntax in math mode, that can then be managed by MathJax if desired, or passed through to LaTeX if using that form of output.

See README for details and an example.

I don't anticipate adding ASCIIMathML support any more.

Just thought I'd mention that MathJax supports asciimathml now.

Interesting..... I'll look into this over the next few days and see how I should best make use of this. Thanks for the tip!!
