NB: This example is *precisely* why I will never adopt MathML as an authoring format. Bowing and scraping at the alter of W3C is not worth using such a terrible syntax, not ever. (Indented, that's <math> <mrow> <msup> <mi>x</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <mrow> <mn>4</mn> <mo>⁢</mo> <mi>x</mi> </mrow> <mo>+</mo> <mn>4</mn> </mrow> </math> Which is still unforgivably horrible. I *think* it's trying to say $x^2 + 4x + 4$, but I'm not confident even of that. I'm also unconvinced it's actually easier to parse than $x^2 + 4x + 4$.) jcc _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
