Re: [FRIAM] ASCIIMathML.js demo
Some things work for me, but not all. For instance \in doesn't
display, nor do some of the font changes. Too much is missing for this
to be really useful. I am running Mozilla 1.7, but I will be
reluctantly updgrading to the latest Firefox soon (or Seamonkey if
Firefox annoys me too much). Reluctant because Firefox seems to be a
worse interface than Mozilla, just like KDE is a worse interface than FVWM.
I may be a curmudgeon, but I still miss Mosaic's "Clone this page"
feature, even if there's nothing else about Mosaic I miss. I switched
to Netscape in '96 and to Mozilla in '03. The Netscape->Mozilla
transition was not too painful.
Cheers
