Hi chregu
Here is the screen shot. Maybe I will install a newer version of Mozilla
or FireFox.
mmh, yes, that looks quite differently in my browser ;)

Thanks

Thanks so much chregu,
Just a few questions. In the example, why does the MathML not render
as nice equations (like the example)? I'm using Mozilla 1.5 on Win2K.
Is it supposed to be like that and is that a limitation of Mozilla?
It does render quite nicely on my Mozilla 1.6 on Mac OSX. How does it
look like on your machine? Can you send me a screenshot?
chregu
Once again, thanks so much for your help. I will play around with
BitFlux.

Hi
I did some quick tests with MathML. And it would be technically
possible, but the Mozilla MathML Parser is quite picky... If I
delete for example a number in a tag, i immediatly get "invalid
markup" error and can't edit that node anymore (except in source mode).
Furthermore, it's not that easy to edit MathML with BXE, since it
has quite a complex and deep XML Structure and you don't have
currently any shortcuts in BXE for easy MathML editing.
Nevertheless I put my testings online at
http://cvsdemo.bitfluxeditor.org/examples/MathML
(it's in Subversion as well, if you want to hack on that)
The relaxng schema was generated with Trang from the example i took
(http://cvsdemo.bitfluxeditor.org/examples/MathML/inline.xml)
Concerning your other questions:
I think docbook has some MathML for RelaxNG. I think it is a
docbook module.
I've been looking at many different Online WYSIWY editors and I'm
trying to find out the difference between them and BitFlux. I am
just curious, but does BitFlux use the Rich-Text Editing features
of Mozilla?
nope
Or does it use something else totally different? I figure that
since you need caret browsing, it is probably uses a different
architecture than most WYSIWYG editors.
yes, we use mozile as underlying library, which directly
communicates with the DOM of Mozilla. Therefore every keystroke and
every action is handled by Mozile resp. BXE itself.
Have fun and if you have any further questions, just ask
chregu
Anyway, lets say there was a RelaxNG schema for MathML. Would it be
very hard to modify BitFlux to incorporate that? I'm just a PHP
programmer myself and know only enough javascript to get confirm
dialog boxes to appear.
Please forgive me if I appear very ignorant.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm am wondering whether it could be possible to do WYSIWYG
editing of
MathML with BitFlux or any other WYSIWYG browser based editor.
AFAIK, Mozilla does understand MathML, right? So therefore it
would be theoretically possible, although never tried it.
One problem would be, that BXE would try to translate MathML
Elements to some HTML and this should be prevented in this case
(as we do with Elements in the XHTML Namespace itself).
Is there any MathML Relax NG somewhere? Then we could try to do that
chregu
Thanks
