Subject: RE: FW: DOCBOOK: Equations.


Sorry, not enough coffee. 

The 'free' comment as ment for something else, the WebEQ Math Viewer
(http://www.dessci.com/dl/webeq.stm), the TeXaide equation editor
(http://www.dessci.com/features/taform.stm) and the IceSoft browser
(http://www.icesoft.no/). 

But now that we are at it, do you know if there are any other good free
(GPL, BSD, whatever) tools for authoring and rendering MathML besides Amaya,
PassiveTeX and a few other?

There's a somewhat lacking page at
http://www.w3.org/Math/implementations.html, and a list with links at
http://www.w3.org/Math/#software

Mozilla will also be able to display (some) MathML; there's a project
developing MathML support in Gecko (the rendering engine) that will
sertainly 'spill over' to other projects. See
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/. To check if you current incarnation
of Mozilla is built with MathML, try
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/demo/texvsmml.xml. You may also try
with Amay, but you'll get disappointed, because the page doesn't validate.

There's an interesting MathML+Mozilla site at
http://pear.math.pitt.edu/mathzilla/.

Kind regards
Peter Ring

Er, sorry to disturb this thread, but this is at least partly wrong.

Amaya is free "like in free speech" as well as "like in free beer",
and this is probably the most important for many users.  Unlike all
so-called "freeware" stuff (including things like Internet Explorer),
which are free only "like in free beer".

Ever tried to modify IE to suit your own needs, and redistribute the
modified version ?
