MathToWeb - What's New

September 30, 2008: Release of MathToWeb Version 2.0.3

Following up on two good suggestions made via email by a MathToWeb user ( - your input is very much appreciated Raffaele, thank you), the enhancements below have been implemented for this release:
- An option has been added (to both the command-line and GUI variant) to force MathToWeb to output Unicode characters instead of MathML ones (which is the default). For example, MathToWeb would normally convert \alpha to α (this is a MathML character). With the 'Unicode option' set, it will be converted to α instead.
  
  This option is available via the 'Configuration' menu in the GUI variant.
  
  If using the command-line variant, incorporate the -unicode flag in your command, as the following example demonstrates:
  >java -jar mathtoweb.jar -unicode test.xml
- \newcommand declarations can now be defined in an external file and brought into MathToWeb via the command-line option -ncf
  (this is not yet available in the GUI variant, but will be in the near future). For example,
  >java -jar mathtoweb.jar -ncf myncf.txt test.xml
  This uses myncf.txt as an external 'new command file'. If it is desirable to define more than one file, separate them using commas: -ncf myncf1.txt, myncf1.txt
  See MathToWeb User's Guide - \newcommand for more information on this option.

- Recently a PhD student contacted me via email and made some very good points in favour of maintaining a command-line variant of MathToWeb. His argument was that a command-line variant would be useful when converting many documents or when such documents must be converted without human interaction.
  
  So, with this new version, the command-line variant of MathToWeb is back and available (with the GUI variant) on the download page.
  -- Thanks Raffaele
- Raffaele kindly put forth another suggestion, that \newcommand (and \renewcommand) should be supported by MathToWeb. This was an excellent suggesion and has been implemented.
  See MathToWeb User's Guide - \newcommand for information on using this command.
February 06, 2008: Release of MathToWeb Version 2.0.1
- Minor update fixing such expressions as ${A^2}^2$ where the outer superscript was being converted to <mover> rather than <msup>.
January 05, 2008: Release of MathToWeb Version 2.0.0
- MathToWeb now runs from within a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
- Faster conversion algorithms - particularly noticeable with regard to long, complicated equations.
November 06, 2007: Release of MathToWeb Version 1.0.2
Another minor update fixing a couple of bugs involving Latex code similar to the following: $\log \left\lvert A \right\rvert$ .
November 03, 2007: Release of MathToWeb Version 1.0.1
This is a minor update that fixes a few problems related to variable size operators.
