The following are the changes agreed after the last meeting.
- Equations
- Equations are now numbered, and can be referred to. The
definition of the equation elements has changed slightly, with the
addition of the MLINE content to MEQNARRAY and the addition of the
MLABEL element. Generation of the GIF versions of the equations is
smoother (well, should be - I'm still unsure how sensitive the
dvi2bitmap program is to its TeX environment).
- Tables
- There is now a TABULAR element for tablar material, which sits
within the TABLE element, which is responsible for matters such as
captioning and floating the result. This orthogonality means that
TABULAR is now a `structuring' element, at the same level as elements
like BLOCKQUOTE and lists, so it can appear within paragraphs.
- Cross references
- The DOCXREF element now has a title attribute, allowing you to
override the generation of the link text. Also, I've added a
%short-crossrefs%
parameter to the DSSSL stylesheets (set true
buy default), which allows you to control whether you get short or
long generated text. - Figure notations
- The set of figure notations has expanded, now including (after
much debate) arbitrary LaTeX as an acceptable notation. At the same
time, the content model for the FIGURE element has changed, so that
each FIGURECONTENT element now specifies a single alternative.
- Assorted bug-fixing
- Includes wrinkles in the DTD as well as in the down-converters.
