setupMMLappearance

[Duncan Hothersall]

Hello.

I am used to using
\setupMMLappearance[mtable][alternative=a|b|c]
to change the way the mathml module treats mtable alignments. I've just 
discovered it no longer seems to have any effect.

What I need to set up is an alignment where the first column of an 
mtable is right-aligned (ragged left), the second is centred, and the 
third is left-aligned (ragged right). But I keep getting the first 
column left-aligned, which makes multi-line equations look awful.

Is there a new mechanism for setting these alignments? It looked like it 
from reading newmml, but there don't seem to be any examples of usage. 
Can someone help?

Secondary question: how can I increase the gap between rows in an mtable 
- at the moment they are very squashed.

Sample code follows - produces ugly output on the garden:

\usemodule[newmml]
\setupMMLappearance[mtable][alternative=b]
\starttext
\startXMLdata
<formula><math><mtable><mtr><mtd><mfrac><mrow><mtext>Average 
inventory</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>Cost of 
sales</mtext></mrow></mfrac><mo>&times;</mo><mspace 
width="0.35em"/><mtext>365</mtext></mtd><mtd><mo>=</mo></mtd><mtd><mtext>average 
number of days to turn inventory into 
sales</mtext></mtd></mtr><mtr><mtd><mfrac><mrow><mtext>&pound;305</mtext></mrow><mrow><mtext>&pound;1,830</mtext></mrow></mfrac><mo>&times;</mo><mspace 
width="0.35em"/><mtext>365</mtext></mtd><mtd><mo>=</mo></mtd><mtd><mtext>60.83 
days</mtext></mtd></mtr></mtable></math></formula>
\stopXMLdata
\stoptext


I'm using mk II.

Thanks very much,

Duncan

the current mathml module uses the second implementation (mkiv) or the 
third one (mkiv)

you might want to load the xtag: xtag-mml

hm, the mkiv module is supposed to support the attributes

in any case, just collect examples and i'll see what i can do

(in principle the mkii module is frozen and i will improve the mkiv one 
which is just in its first incarnation and to some extend already 
supports mathml 3)

just the setup command or attributes
