Gentle persons:

I seriously need to 'git pull' more often.

While I was working up to my emails of Nov. 23, Pavel---another tip of 
my hat to you, sir---posted some fixes that got working the LaTeXMath--> 
HTML process that I had been calling an 'alternative' to the embedded 
javascript approach I was working with. No need for me to do any more 
exploratory work.

My test document passes through this new build process without error. As 
expected, a PNG file is created for each LaTeXMath snippet and linked 
into the HTML document the same as any image file would be. That's the 
good news, and of course you already know it if you've been looking at 
the most recent builds of the v2.5 HTML docs.

The bad news is that the result is not nearly as attractive as it was in 
my test of the embedded LaTeXMathML JavaScript approach or as it still 
is in the PDF format. Again, you already know this if you've been 
looking at the most recent builds of the V2.5 HTML docs. There seem to 
be issues regarding the placement of the PNG images with respect to the 
text (if so-called inline equations) or the page (if so-called informal 
equations) and possibly there are some other issues as well (it's very 
late here and my sense of aesthetics is fading fast).

While you can see this problem for yourself by browsing the latest build 
on the EMC2 website (http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/2.5/html/), it might 
be easier to download, untar, and browse the tar file I just posted to 
my Google site so you can see all the latexmath instances gathered in 
one document.

As before, go to 
https://sites.google.com/site/manisbutareed/home/emc2-latexmathml-test

The file in question is latexmathmltest-emc2build.tar

CAUTION: The tar file shows another bit of not-so-good news (to me, at 
least). The new build process throws the PNG files it generates from the 
LaTeXMath into the same directory as the resulting HTML document. DO 
untar into a new subdirectory so you can easily delete all the files and 
only the files from this tar file when you're done.

Regards,
Kent
