Agreed. But I was referring to the corresponding MathML (and the

I can well imagine this being used in Statistics, or Statistical Mechanics, and related fields,
where the fraction is the ratio of integrals or summations or products
— especially for presentation slides, where the ratio of text width to line height is typically much less than in printed publications.

Of course you need to manipulate the TeX by declaring \displaystyle within the numerator and denominator, as David suggests. But not all that strange, afterall.

well if an author is coding directly in mathml probably wouldn't have
the mstyle.
If you're converting from TeX code (that is not using \mathchoice) then
you would need that for absolute fidelity, although to be honest often
if tex alignments end up being used in a subscript the author _doesn't
want the table to stay using large fonts, and ammends the code to use
mathchoice so it gets smaller.

Thanks, David, for confirming the reading of the spec.

So to guarantee \displaystyle we're supposed to do something like

<mstyle scriptlevel="0">
<mtable displaystyle="true">
...
</mtable>
</mstyle>

To guarantee \textstyle something like

<mstyle displaystyle="true" scriptlevel="0">
<mtable>
...
</mtable>
</mstyle>

And

<mfrac>
<mtable displaystyle="true">
...
</mtable>
<mrow>
...

</mfrac>

would get us a table with displaystyle formatting, but in scriptstyle size
(when used in an inline formula). (I admit I find that somewhat strange; oh
well.)

Thanks again for your quick response!

I think the spec is clear, and the splitting of tex's \xxxstyle concept
into two separately settable parameters was certainly intentional:

3.1.6 says

That choice inevitably means that there are combinations not reachable
in TeX (and thus uncommon to most authors and probably unlikely
to be used except in exceptional circumstances) but I think it's clear
that the spec intends that they are reachable.

To put it differently, we couldn't imagine how an author setting

Author: | Channel: www-math@w3.org Mail Archives

I verified  the latex set this morning and I think you are right that we
can not probably do better for the Unicode-to-LaTeX mapping. I attach
the updated LaTeX-commands.diff. Since I need the LaTeX-to-Unicode
mapping for my math converter, I now only take the "AMS" set as a
reference (+ some commands from itex2MML). The remaining issues for the
AMS set are the duplicate in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-math/2013Dec/att-0001/AMS-commands.diff
as well as the question mark for <AMS>\doublebarwedge ?</AMS> (should it
be \doublebarwedge or, to match unicode-math \vardoublebarwedge?).

Later, I'll try to analyze more carefully the difference between what I
get from unicode.xml and itex2MML (mathclass etc) and see if there is
anything relevant to say.

So it seems that this request to add set="latex-historical" has been
ignored. In my opinion, keeping these "latex-historical" entries is not
really useful since the changes are already recorded in the CVS history,
and actually I believe using revision control system is the proper way
to record this kind of info. The only potential problem I see is that
this CVS repository does not seem public... or is there at least a
public web page for that?

That one is clearly wrong but it isn't necessarily wrong that you get
duplicate mappings in the latex to unicode direction. Classic Tex fonts
do not for example have a full Greek alphabet  so  both U+006F and
U+03BF  ( latin o and Greek omicron) map to o.  Al the entries in your
MathLaTeX-commands.diff file are of this form as far as I can see, Greek
letters with tonos being overloaded with latin letters with acute
which is not exactly a brilliant mapping but agrees with classical tex
usage.

By far the biggest set of incorrect mappings wer essentially all the
lowercase greek mathematical alphabet blocks having uppercase names.
I fixed those thanks.

the first group is

U0002D -
-U02010 -
-U02212 -

that is ascii - and the explicit hyphen and minus characters all mapping
to - in latex, that again is the best you can do really if mapping to
classic 7bit fonts

-U0201A ,similar mapping the low quotation to a comma matches classical
TeX usage

-U02024 .  One DOT leader, I suppose this could be \ldotp rather than .
(although that's the same character in the default setup)

-U02019 ' again using the ascii ' for the right quotation mark is normal
tex usage

-U00386 \'{A}  as for the mathlatex usage this is the best approximation
you can do in classic tex font distribution

-U0212B \AA   angstrom and A ring being same character, this seems correct

-U0219D \arrowwaveright
oops thanks, that's the left arrow....

-U025EF \bigcirc
size mapping to classical fonts is a bit strained, this is
"WHITE CIRCLE" and "LARGE CIRCLE" not sure I can do better but
suggestions welcome

-U022C5 \cdot  "DOT OPERATOR" and "MIDDLE DOT" the latter is a bit of
abuse of the math font but again accords with 7bit cm font usage.

-U02662 \diamond  diamond/lozenge

-U02729 \ding{73} two different white stars

-U02A63 \ElsevierGlyph{225A} This macro name is not actually usable to
anyone other than Sebastian I guess

-U00192 f f and script f.
-U00261 g same for g

-U1D716 \in
-U1D750 \in
-U1D78A \in
-U1D7C4 \in
Yes I guess I could wrap some of those in a math alphabet
(although classic tex mathalphabet commands do not affect the standard
definition of \in)

-U0039C M
Mu=M.
-U1D6B3 M
-U1D6CD M

-U1D761 M
-U1D77B M
-U1D79B M
-U1D7B5 M
Mu=M but I added the math alphabets \mathbf{M} etc

ah I'll see what I can do....

Although it really isn't so clear in a unicode setting that saying
U+03B1 is traditionally mapped as \alpha really helps.
U+03B1 is (as you know) textual Greek, and mapping it to \alpha
with the traditional definition of \alpha will just lead to tex errors.
Perhaps I can document that if the character element has mode="math"
then the <latex> mapping is only assumed to work in math mode.

But in anycase the errors you reported initially were just errors
I think not relying on such details, I'll try to get that done.....

Is there any update on this or a plan to lead to reliable set of LaTeX
mappings (in the last version of unicode.xml I still see some of the
errors I initially reported and no set="historical") ? As I see, the
unicode-math names are not really "standard" (whatever it means for

## UND August 02, 2014 MathML panel at Balisage 2014

Author: | Channel: Design Science News

Next week at the Balisage conference I'm going to be part of a panel on MathML that includes Scott Dineen (Optical Society of America), Alexander Miłowski (University of Edinburgh), and Kennett Rawson (IEEE). We'll be discussing MathML in some depth, covering topics including authoring, web browsing, ebooks, accessibility, conversion, and proofreading. The panel is Wednesday Aug 6, from 11 AM to 12:30 PM.

Balisage is a technical conference about markup and all those related technologies that are used for structuring information. The conference is August 5 - 8, 2014 in Washington, DC, USA.  Balisage attendees include many of the people who write and maintain the specifications on which XML depends, design the commonly-used schemas, and implement the tools XML systems depend on. Together with the XML power users and consultants who also attend Balisage regularly, they exchange ideas and fuel the next wave of XML-related innovations.

Autumn Cuellar will also be at Balisage this year, so if you're attending, let's talk about MathML! If you're not attending, but want to know more about how MathFlow can make it easier to get MathML into your content, let us know.
