Re: math symbols

There were recently some postings here about writing HTML and math in
XyWrite. Doesn't bother me, I can not even do arithmetic, but I
thought this might interest some people who do not get the very good
Edupage service by e-mail....

NEW SPECS FOR DISPLAYING MATH ON THE WEB
The World Wide Web Consortium has recommended a new set of technical
specifications for displaying mathematical symbols and equations on
Web
pages. MathML, or Mathematical Markup Language, supplements HTML
(Hypertext
Markup Language), the standard coding to create Web pages, and is
compatible
with XML (Extensible Markup Language). Web users can download a
"plug-in"
that will work with their browsers to view the MathML pages. <
