4th Meeting Report

[Raniere Silva]

I just published the report about yesterday meeting:
http://blog.rgaiacs.com/2014/03/13/4th_mathml_meeting.html.
If I forgot to mention your work, please get in touch and sorry
about that in advance.

To try make the meeting suitable for the large amount of people we are running a
survey: http://mathml.limequery.com/index.php/396944/lang-en.

Thanks,
Raniere

Thank you Raniere.

Just one correction: the <x-tex> custom element
(https://github.com/fred-wang/x-tex) is currently implemented via the
X-tag polyfill (http://x-tags.org/) which does not use shadow DOM.
However, teoli said shadow DOM is implemented in Gecko 30 and that the
custom element spec will allow to just name the element <tex> so this
could be improved in the future. At the moment that's mostly a proof of
concept. As a concrete example,

TeXelement = document.createElement("x-tex");
TeXelement.textContent = "x^2 + y^2";

is not equivalent to

<x-tex>x^2 + y^2</x-tex>

(https://github.com/fred-wang/x-tex/issues/3).

And BTW, someone willing to learn more about Web components, shadow DOM
etc can try to improve this <x-tex> element, without using any polyfill
library.
