}There certainly is a "cross-platform standard for defining an
}equation, it's called "LaTeX". I've often wondered why the authors of
}HTML just didn't adopt and/or adapt it instead of reinventing the
}wheel and coming up with Yet Another Language.
Where's the ftp://??/?? for the LaTeX Windows & MAC viewers?
}Also, the way some scientists are distributing technical material over
}the web involves running their original LaTeX file through a
}LaTeX-to-HTML translator which move all mathmatical figures into .gif
}files. Sending all of these .gif files over the 'Net can't be more
}efficient than just sending LaTeX markup codes, which are just ASCII
}text.
Where is one of these xlators? I'd love to have one.
