T_EX, HTML, and all that

---

The main purpose of this page is to advertise the wonderful work of Ian Hutchinson in creating

The T_TH package translates T_EX into html equations that look quite legible:

dt2 = dt2 - R2(t) [ dr2 + Sk2(r) { dq2 + sin2qdf2} ]

The only problem, which may cause the above to look funny for you, is that X implementations of Netscape need their fonts adjusted for some of the trickery to work. The fix is:

(1) Add the following to your .Xdefaults (or .Xresources): Netscape*documentFonts.charset*adobe-fontspecific: iso-8859-1

(2) restart the X server.

A diatribe

This seems an appropriate place to mention that T_TH will also translate L_AT_EX. Personally, I feel that plain T_EX provides everything a mathematically literate scientist should need. It gives everyone the freedom to define their own macros and achieve an individual style. You can of course use someone else's macros. L_AT_EX would have been useful as a macro package, but instead it breaks parts of plain T_EX, creating something that is not downwards compatible. This is an unforgivable act of vandalism.
