Yes, and if someone wants to special-case ⁢ and ⁣, special-casing two characters takes less space than the entire entity tables. As for the size question, the data tables take 2336 bytes in omni.ja plus the zip directory overhead plus the C++ code that enables the use of these tables. > Le 30/04/2016 12:25, Henri Sivonen a écrit : >> In desktop Firefox, these data tables are used only for the >> MathML View Source feature. > > Personally, I don't really use this feature, as I find the DOM inspector > or the "MathML Copy" add-on (*) more convenient to check or copy a > MathML formula. > > I guess we can move this feature from the Desktop front-end to a > separate Add-on (that could potentially work on mobile too in the > future).
