Hello all
When we need to express a mathematical formula, we were used to insert a
PNG image. However this is tedious to create and non-editable. Yesterday
I wanted to rename variables in a formula from legacy OGC names to the
current EPSG names, and was faced to the non-editable nature of PNG. So
I tried MathML as an alternative. Can some volunteers confirm if they
see the matrix formula on the right side of the table in the following
class javadoc? It should work natively (no plugin needed) on Firefox,
Opera and Safari, but Internet Explorer may need a plugin [1].

If it works, would it be acceptable to adopt MathML as a way to express
formulas in SIS javadoc instead of PNG images, at the cost of requiring
developers using IE to install a plugin or ignore the mathematical
formulas? (hopefully it would be temporary, until IE catchup with other
browsers).
