Here's info about jsMath: > > http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/ I was hoping that by now there would be a set of math glyphs that could be dragged and dropped around a screen--possibly firefox, possibly OOo or abiword--to show a set of equations for any number of purposes. Last years I found that I could create something close with OO "Math", but it required typing by keyboard. D and Drop: nope. There are new Firefox apps that look hopeful. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
