Description Frédéric Wang 2013-06-23 15:30:55 UTC
In theory, only operators like those mentioned in

http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML3/appendixc.html#oper-dict.entries-table

should be exported as <mo> elements. Symbols like emptyset, aleph, setN that are more like variables should use <mi> elements instead.

NEW right away :).

Kind regards,

Reopening this bug as it seems that I overlooked the NSPECIAL and NGLYPH_SPECIAL cases.

NGLYPHSPECIAL correspond to the commands uoper, boper, oper to define operators and so should still be exported as <mo> elements.

NSPECIAL correspond to the %xxxx commands. Most of them are greek letters like %alpha so should be exported as <mi> elements. Other correspond to binary operators (without syntax verification) like %and so should be exported as <mo> elements. I think users can define their own %xxxx commands so a generic way to detect whether a character is an operator is needed (bug 66279)

Comment 7 Frédéric Wang 2013-07-03 13:34:33 UTC
This is not completely fixed and depends on bug 66279. %xxx are now exported as <mi>'s rather than <mo>'s which is OK since most of them are Greek letters. But a few commands like %noelement should be <mo>. Users can also define their own commands with the Catalog menu. See comment 5.

OK, I overlooked that.

Solving mathml bugs require big structural changes.
I'm still working on them. But don't spect anything before 7.3
I need to build the basements before the building.
