No , I’m afraid this calls for another (new) command, like Bernadette proposed something like \special{mathml ….}

However you work on wims-phtml directly, you can simply use use

\begin{html} 
 <span  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <textarea xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" id="mathml0" size="5" style="vertical-align:middle;overflow:hidden;resize:none;color:red" >?</textarea>
 </span>
\end{html}

or even better, use
\input{0}{5}{color:red}{?}{0} which generates the dame code as above
and use some simple javascript function to read the inputfield.
The « \input » may be used anywhere in latex (fractions,matrix etc etc etc)
The \begin{html}\end{html} may include any valid html-thing (images, etc), as long as you tell the system it’s encoding / namespace is xmlns= »http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml »

A small note on mathjax (again…)
I’ve installed mathjax on Leiden wims-mirror and on intranet school servers.
All browsers -except firefox- will now use MathJax for typesetting.
This line of javascript will exclude firefox:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") == -1){
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src  = "mathjax/MathJax.js?config=MML_HTMLorMML-full.js";
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
</script>

So now -in theory- all browsers could have nice looking mathtypesetting
(the price to pay is ofcourse a faily slow rendering of math)

Well here are some local data from a highschool in the Netherlands:
Approx 50% of our pupils use Chrome at home as default browser (on windows)
The rest is mainly Firefox (>=19) and MSIE (mostly version 9 and 10)

Because of MathML in WIMS our school switched from default browser Chrome to Firefox.Our ‘systems administration’ preferred Chrome because it’s light weight and very fast on older pc-systems.

In using MathJax our pupils (and sysadmin) can use their favorite browser and use mathml…and canvas…and svg…and html-inputfields in MathML 🙂

Mathjax seems to allow inputfields in mathml as well.
Using a slightly different pseudo latex syntax,
\FormInput[class][value]{name}
see:https://github.com/leathrum/mathjax-ext-contrib/tree/master/forminput
this include is needed for support:http://cs.jsu.edu/mathjax-ext/contrib/forminput/forminput.js

Maybe we should adapt wims_mathml to allow same syntax?
Since google’s browser chromium is -at this point- not supporting native MathML…but advising javascript Mathjax as ‘add on’ for math displa (grrrr)

Hi,
Latex will not -never- support this, however in some cases MathML
(using firefox) can use inputfields anywhere ! in a latex constuct…
An inputfield in MathML using pseudo latex:
\input{size}{id}{style}{value}{readonly}
The value can be read by using something like:
var reply=document.getElementById(‘mathml’+id);
But make sure users use only Mathml & Firefox !!!
kind regards,

######from scienceprinc.c #########
WIMS usage:
sci_num = !exec scienceprint number,significance,type
number: a number
significance : desired precision
type (optional args): calc = 0 / html = 1 / latex = 2 / prefix = 3 / mathml = 4

default : calc notation : 120000,3 -> 1.20*10^5
type = 0 : calc notation : 120000,3,0 -> 1.20*10^5
type = 1 : html notation : 120000,3,1 -> 1.20×10⁵

you are right: I didn’t notice the « mistake » because I’ve not installed from scratch.
I’ll just remove the « _ » gifs.

Hi,
I wonder why we don’t supply the ready-made images…
We do that for all other images used within wims.
Seems to me there is no copyright infringement , so what’s the problem
Apart from that in future ‘school wims-servers’ could do without TexLive
(using exclusively mathml)

Well, if you are not afraid…and your pupils are no real hackers…and you use an intranet server with no connections outside your local network…and have all compilers installed in a chroot…and you slightly modify wims.cgi…you can -of course- use wims to teach some basic programming !
Just don’t make this server accessible from the internet 🙂

Hi,
For this to work securely -on a public wims server- you must install the ‘sysmask protection’ system of X.Gang
Otherwise your server would be extremely vulnerable and open for easy hacking.
However: this system & Linux kernel patch will not work on recent linux distributions (kernel patch dated 2005?)
In any case read :http://wims.unice.fr/sysmask/doc/

kind regards,
Joke

So it is dependant on the browser, the system or the version. Not on the way to use the table (as css or normally). It is exactly what I wanted to emphasize !

Absolutely not !!!
Using the MathML + input field » together in

• one table-cell
• one paragraph
• one div

is your problem.
(assuming you don’t want to work with ‘absolute width/height’)
The only sensible way to force « Mathml + inputfield » in an (optical) horizontal alignment is to use two table-cells in a single row.
<tr><td>MATHML</td><td>INPUTFIELD</td></tr>
Just try it

The « trick » is to force the Mathml into a table cell apart from the input field and NOT to put mathml+input in the same cell (…)
The same is true for other XML includes (like SVG…) in (X)HTML

Hi,
The solution is simple and straight forward : just use a normal table !! although some « experts » regard the use of a « table » a sign of incompetence (…) and insist of using highly complex and extremely large CSS-style sheets to do very very simple things
