* Package name : libjs-asciimathml Version : 2.0.2 Upstream Author : Peter Jipsen <jip...@chapman.edu> * URL : http://asciimathml.sourceforge.net/ * License : LGPL-2.1+ Programming Lang: JavaScript Description : JavaScript library to render high quality Mathematics in a browser ASCIIMathML is a set of JavaScript functions to convert ASCII math notation and LaTeX to Presentation MathML. Simple graphics commands are also translated to SVG images. ASCIIMathML is designed to be very easy to use and mimic to a great extent the way that one would use to type mathematical formulas by means like e-mail. This makes its use especially suited for teachers and instructors of disciplines based on Mathematics that want to use an eletronic medium (like, for instance, a blog or a web forum) with students and still not be encumbered with difficult, non-intuitive, non-standard notation for formulas. A more "Web 2.0" description of ASCIIMathML could be: "a JavaScript to convert ASCII math notation (and some LaTeX) to Presentation MathML while your webpage loads. Now also simple graphs are translates to SVG." It's use is simple and only a single include in an (X)HTML page is needed for the use of the library. ------- This would really rock to have when using a ikiwiki wiki/blog to typeset mathematics. See the examples in the homepage of the author.
