This page summarises the problems discussed in the e-mails that ended up in the html-parsing-rules-namespaces-discussion folder.
- Putting an equation in a Web page.
Priorities:- Maintainability
- Searchability
- Accessibility
- Typographically-sound printing
- Ease of authoring (are authors willing to learn new formats?)
- Ease of import from existing documents
- Ease of implementation (are UAs willing to implement new formats?)
- Resistance to errors (e.g. not brittle in the face of syntax errors)
- Ability to include
- Migrating from LaTeX to HTML.
Priorities:- Fidelity
- Writing a document by hand, with inline diagrams imported from a graphics package.
Priorities:- Compatibility with existing graphics packages
- Resistance to errors (e.g. not brittle in the face of syntax errors)
- Scriptable (retained-mode, with DOM support, without requiring cross-frame scripting)
- Round-tripping (the ability to take image fragments from a Web page and edit them)
- Writing documents that include diagrams that include typographically-correct mathematics.
- The ability to animate elements in a web page (hypertext, vector graphics) without using script.
Priorities:- Set or animate sizes, positions, opacities, colors, transforms (basically most attributes and properties)
- Many ways of triggering begin/end (time-based and DOM events)
- Inlined (for simple web pages) and non-inlined animations (to promote separation of content and presentation)
- Linear and Spline interpolation
Philip also wrote a detailed story, which touches on several of the points above, of what we want to enable. In addition to the points above, his requirements include a solution for ID clashes in multiple-document transclution, and a solution for embedding custom non-visible data in an HTML document for scripting purposes.
Supporting data and research
- What is the most widely known way of authoring mathematics?
- What human-editable source language are equations mostly serialised in today?
- Animation is a desired capability for web authors of Rich Internet Applications. Of the top Ajax Javascript toolkits listed on Wikipedia, all support some level of animation, each in a different, and possibly incompatible, way:
