Here's the bugzilla entry. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192077 The status there is not yet 'fixed'.
It is acknowledged there that the strategy (as used by LaTeX2HTML) is correct according to the HTML 4.0 (and earlier) recommendations.
Hope this helps,
I've parsed the comments on the bug, and I'm suprised that it needs
such a discussion to convince developers that compatibility should
be preserved (i.e. what was correct with Netscape 3 should work alike with
Mozilla 1.5).
Agreed; 100%
I have some documents with math which have been translated long ago (and which are not in the top 100 sites, alas). Should I understand from this discussion that I should re-translate or filter these documents once the bug is fixed ? I thought (and claimed frequently to encourage use of HTML as a text formatter) that HTML solved long term portability of documents. The discussion is a bit disappointing from this point of view.
Besides, I don't find the css workaround very satisfactory. What about people desactivating css in their browser ? IMHO, HTML *should* give a readable result with the *simplest* browser configuration. Having inline images nor properly aligned is simply *not* readable, thus not publishable.
Should I insist by adding a new comment to the bug ? I strongly support comment 17.
Go for it! It would be good for others to do so too.
Cheers
Ross
