Hi all,

I am a new TiddlyWiki user and group member.  I would like to enter
mathematical formulas in my tiddlers and to that end I have been
investigating the two plugins MathSVGPlugin and ASCIIMathMLPlugin,
both written by Paulo Soares.  My question is: which one should I use?

MathSVGPlugin seems to be more recent, yet has fewer features than
ASCIIMathMLPlugin -- notably the lack of ASCIIMath notation and
automath detection.  Is MathSVGPlugin intended to be a replacement for
ASCIIMathMLPlugin, or simply an alternative?

I have no experience of mathematical markup at all, so which notation
should I learn?  ASCIIMath seems simpler than LateX, but is not
supported by MathSVGPlugin.  Does this imply that ASCIIMath notation
is deprecated?

ASCIIMathMLPlugin seems to require an external script ASCIIMathML.js.
Is it possible to include this in the main TiddlyWiki file, to avoid
having multiple files?

I notice in MathSVGPluginComp the line:
//MSVG.latexConverter = "http://www.yourequations.com/eq.latex?";; //
link to external converter

Does this imply that all conversions are performed externally, and
thus MathSVGPlugin won't work offline?

Thanks,
Scuff
