I don't think the redirect would be that difficult, it is a one time apache configuration thing, possibly plus updates to the mirrors. On Mon, Jan 2, 2023 at 11:25 PM Jim Kingdon wrote: > There are a lot of ideas on this thread which might be worth doing, but > the redirect from mpegif to

There are a lot of ideas on this thread which might be worth doing, but the redirect from mpegif to mpeuni is the only which is in my mind a (likely) prerequisite for retiring mpegif. Most of the others we could do later if we find we wish we had them. On 1/2/23 07:49, Samiro Discher wrote:

I think it's not worth it to have ascii symbols in title attributes on every character. This will unnecessarily blow up the page size quite considerably. I think Benoit's suggestion of an all-ascii version of the pages is better - I think this is already implemented in one of the alternate

I think that we should drop the GIF directories, to lighten maintenance, and that we should in place add an ascii version, https://us.metamath.org/mpeascii/, so that the feature mentioned by Glauco stay (and be even better). The ascii pages should not be hard to generate: in the metamath.c
