Arthur, Alfredo, Alasdair, I've checked in a new silver as of 20071020.01.acr.patch which contains the new communication protocol between the new hyperdoc and axiom.
In this release are the last two sections of Alasdair's crytpography notes in xhtml format. These pages are not live yet but will be shortly. I've also checked in a newhyper.pamphlet that uses this new communication protocol. There are two new pages, demonstrating 3 ideas. (Arthur, I should note that axserver can construct an improper reply having </div></div> somewhere in the reply. The second </div> should not occur (and does not always happen). I have programmed around it) Topics -> Numbers -> Integers demonstrates the use of the new protocol by only showing the mathml values rather than the whole command and type fields. See the chunk <<handlefreevars>> to see how this works. Topics -> Numbers -> Integers demonstrates the use of the free variable mechanism. That is, if you click on 'x+y' without defining the values of 'x' or 'y' for the page then the expressions for 'x' and 'y' are automatically and quietly executed in the background before the 'x+y' expression. Hyperdoc does this with the 'free(x)' kind of syntax. In the new hyperdoc you provide ids for each of the input value and then call 'handleFree' with a list of the prior required values and the current element. All of the required values are evaluated before the current element (last item in the list provided to handleFree). See the page "numintegers.xhtml" to see the use of handleFree. See the chunk <<handlefreevars>> to see how this works. Topics -> Numbers -> Fractions demonstrates the use of "resetvars". That is, if you visit this page it assumes that 'x' and 'y' have no value so that the fractional results are supposed to be symbolic. Yet if you've visited a previous page (such as the Integers) page you might have set 'x' to a value in the underlying Axiom image, which would generate numeric rather than symbolic results. This page automatically resets the axiom environment so it does not see interference from other pages. See the page numfractions.xhtml to see the use of resetvars(); See the chunk <<axiom talker>> to see how this works. With these pieces in place I can proceed to convert a large number of the existing hyperdoc pages in the upcoming weeks.
