I also note http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-MathML2-20010221/byalpha.html Characters Ordered by MathML Names Chapter 6: Entities, Characters and Fonts All, by codes aacute, U000E1, =small a, acute accent, [LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE] Aacute, U000C1, =capital A, acute accent, [LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH ACUTE] abreve, U00103, =small a, breve, [LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH BREVE] Abreve, U00102, =capital A, breve, [LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH BREVE] ac, U0290F, most positive, [RIGHTWARDS TRIPLE DASH ARROW] acd, U0223F, ac current, [SINE WAVE] acE, U029DB, most positive, two lines below, [MOST POSITIVE, TWO LINES BELOW] ... agrave, U000E0, =small a, grave accent, [LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE] Agrave, U000C0, =capital A, grave accent, [LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVE] aleph, U02135, /aleph aleph, Hebrew, [ALEF SYMBOL] alpha, U003B1, /alpha small alpha, Greek, [GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA] Is this a better source of names than docBook? I personally find the docBook name 'agr' less intuitive than MathML 'alpha'. [template floor[x]'''⌊'''[x]'''⌋'''] [floor [lambda]] - give the math floor half bracketing the greek lambda thus ⌊λ⌋ Nice.
