I can now reasonably well process the 280 examples in the draft, presentation as well as content, and extending things is not that hard. I just downloaded the demo suite from w3c and (surprise) some examples there are rendered different than the draft. I'm not sure if we need to support all the crappy attributes. I expect that we need to map more complicated constructs onto the more advanced display math macros you must have on your machine. So, we need aproper in-between-tex layer for the real tough jobs. Somehow, when i look at the specs, i cannot get by the feeling that some important aspects have been overlooked -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
