If you're auto-converting from TeX, try to do it as high up the conversion chain as you can. By the time your doco has hit DVI, it's basically marks on paper and any semantic information is lost. I don't think I've used DVI files this century: I was an early adopter of pdftex, and I'm pretty sure my TeX engine of choice these days is pdfxetex: straight to PDF, while also supporting bidirectional fonts, OpenType variant glyph forms and (IIRC) micro-justification of hyphenated pages. This little wrinkle pushes hyphens slightly into the right margin. It looks much better. Also, since every printing system I'm ever likely to use has a PDF document path (PostScript is dead), it cuts out a lot of conversion and font hassle. PDF's just super handy to have as a virtual paper format anyway. Dunno what I did before CUPS, IPP and the cups-pdf virtual printer. Waste lots of paper, I suppose.
cheers, Stewart
Stewart, I copied the MathML code from a site on MathML. I want to learn it. I have not worked hard on it since. As I noted during the meeting. If it works in Midori but not on Chrome, it doesn't work. If it works on Chrome but not on Midori, it is not reliable. I am posting articles prepared with LaTeX. The HTML conversion converts the equations to bitmaps. These are reliable, however crappy they look. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca jhowardgibson@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
