1) How can I create a valid document with a .html extension?
(requiring .xhtml is going to break a bunch of other stuff)
MathML (or any other XML language for that matter) is not
recognized when the browser parse the file with the HTML parser. So
for MathML to work, you need ".xhtml" or a "application/xhtml+xml"
MIME type. And yes, unfortunately, that can break other stuff.
Placing
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml"
/>
in the .html file doesn't work (I had already tried...) Is there
another way around this, or must the extension be .xhtml? Surely
something as simple as a filename extension is not this important on
the web in 2006...
2) How do I fix my xhtml2latex stylesheets (http://
fletcher.freeshell.org/wiki/Markdown_and_XML) to work with a file
that has the xmlns attribute applied to the html node? (Or with
whatever comes out of an answer to #1 above)
Instead, try to answer this question: how to specify an XML
namespace from the stylesheet?
Ok, I'll bite... So how does one do this?
3) Any suggestions on the markup syntax? I sort of arbitrarily
chose the use of an extra `. I am sure there is a better way of
doing this, and would love to hear input.
Well, if you want to be sure Markdown doesn't change the content of
your expression, you could wrap it into a processing instruction tag:
<?ascii2math x_(1,2) = (-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a) ?>
This is less pretty, but has less chance to break too. With your
syntax, what happens if you have some `<` in a formula? With the
one above, only `?>` would be problematic, but you shouldn't see
that too often in maths.
Definitely less pretty. I have no desire to require something like
"<?ascii2math ... ?>". This is clearly not what Gruber intended
when he wrote, "without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or
formatting instructions." And this is exactly what I have tried to
avoid with MultiMarkdown-specific markup. I don't mind an
unobtrusive quotation mark or two, but want to avoid things that look
remotely like "programming"...
As for the "<" issue, I don't follow. There is no use of "<" or ">"
in my current ascii2math syntax, and those symbols work just fine.
