First, these don't have anything to do with my patch. In the notebook, I think that things are displayed using JSMath, about which I know nothing. As far as I can tell from looking at the source code, though, 'view' typesets things in "in-line" mode, so fractions (for example) are typeset in a smaller font. On the other hand, 'show' sets things in "displaystyle", which doesn't use the smaller font for fractions, etc. > while view seems to shrink fractions - is this some difference between > $$ $$ and $ $ which might be dealt with in John's patch, or is it a > feature, or anything else?
