[FRIAM] MathML woes

[Owen Densmore]

Oops .. I forgot another interesting stunt, ASCIIMathML, a JavaScript  
solution.

ASCIIMathML.js uses JavaScript to input a stylized (LaTeX) math  
stream which the browser then changes into math notation on the fly:
   http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html

I'm pretty impressed with this.  It uses the de-facto standard,  
LaTeX, and converts it to reasonable math notation.  It could be made  
searchable, as long as you don't mind searching for LaTeX!  I've been  
wanting to learn TeX and this could be the 2-fer I'm looking for.

I'd like to know the downside of this notation .. otherwise, I'd say  
its a good candidate.
