Sadly, the output of TtH can't be pasted into WikiPedia pages directly because it has nested tables. The best of all worlds would allow <tex> ... </tex> tags that would indicate that the intervening text needed to be expanded by TtH before insertion. This would allow folk like me to type math the way Knuth intended. |

Would you care to suggest an alternative? -- TedDunning
The other options are image-producing translators and Java applets. Those certainly have drawbacks (such as dowload time and resolution), but they are very standard and they do work well. -- LDC
Yes, that's clearly the way to go, and my "dismissal" of TtH was most specifically directed at the idea of pasting the HTML from it into Wiki pages. I'm all for <tex>...</tex>
, with perhaps a simplified internal syntax, which will allow us to change rendering methods anyway. I'd personally prefer <mathml>...</mathml>
, but I know that's a losing battle for now. --LDC
Ahh ... my 90% figure, btw, was based on the fact that almost all viewers would be able to read the results (Netscape 6 is the only broken case that I know about). As you say, as solutions are found, the rendering can be improved if we can only find a way to render TeX somehow. -- TedDunning
That doesn't answer my question at all. Does this work on Macs and Unix boxes, or are you assuming (for some reason I'd also like the source of) that "90%" of readers have Windows?
