Stewart,

   I copied the MathML code from a site on MathML.  I want to learn it.  I have not worked hard on it since.  As I noted during the meeting.  If it works in Midori but not on Chrome, it doesn't work.  If it works on Chrome but not on Midori, it is not reliable.

   I am posting articles prepared with LaTeX.  The HTML conversion converts the equations to bitmaps.  These are reliable, however crappy they look.
