Thanks for the pointer to the source and documentation. I took a look at this file but this sort of LaTeX coding is way past my level of incompetence! I will be very happy if or when you have time to modify it to create a jsmath mode! :) In the meantime I did download and install Tex4ht on the Axiom-developer web server to try to gain some understanding of how to use it. I installed the Debian version: 'tex4ht_20050402.1817-1_i386.deb' from your web site. I tried it in MathML mode on several files. Some are nearly ok, i.e. they display properly in Firefox with only minimal hand editing of a dozen misplaced <msub> </msub> start and end tags. But our "acid test" - a pamphlet file called 'dhmatrix.spad.pamphlet', which can be processed by dvipdfm to a good quality pdf file - fails quite miserably with many oddly placed MathML tags ... :( As a result I gave up trying to hand edit it to get the browser simply to parse the XML. In fact of those TeX to HTML/MathML systems that I have tried so far, Hevea, Tth, and Tex4ht; none have successfully processed this file in a manner that I would judge to be acceptable to an online reader. So, for now I guess I remain stuff with making due with the Acrobat browser plug-in.
