After 8 months of development we are ready to release Drupal 5.0 to the world. Today is also Drupal’s 6th birthday, so the timing could not be more perfect. Drupal 4.0 was released in 2002 and finally we feel confident to increase the major version number from 4 to 5.

I’d had enough.

Being unhappy with the current wisdom and distrustful of our browsers, I wanted to have the font sizing options laid out so i could see where they did and didn’t work. So I made 264 screenshots.

This collection is posted for anyone else who is unhappy and distrustful.

By Browser. This one has everything. Clips from the main browsers of all of the above methods, plus all five size setting from the three IE PC’s.

By Method. This is useful for looking for anomalies.

IE PC. Grouped by the three IE PC’s five size settings. Also good for looking for anomalies. There’s a couple of subtle ones.

Individual Methods. Because I was going snow-blind trying to see things on the big chart, I thought it would be nice to have them on individual pages too. Source for the screenshots is linked through here as well.

Conclusions? For me, yes: take a look over here for the method I currently use.

There are many LaTeX to (X)HTML converters [1] that produce different output: (X)HTML + images (PNG or GIF), XHTML + MathML or presentational HTML with many nested tables. Oldfashioned HTML with complex tabular layouts is not good solution either.
XHTML + MathML is better solution, however MathML by design is slightly awkward for CSS formatting. W3C tries to address [2] this issue by introducing CSS3 math module [3] but at the moment it seems to
be hard to design “universal” CSS style sheet for MathML without reforming MathML markup language itself. There are tools that transform MathML into SVG, Prince can process SVG so one may try XHTML + SVG solution.

We tried to go in different way and designed experimental mathematical markup language [4] that from one hand is fully integrated into XML + CSS framework and from another hand is (or claims to be) human processable (not as verbose as MathML) so authors could code it manually in source editors like they code XHTML or maybe LaTeX. Now we use one XML markup for both authoring and delivery [5] of mathematical articles. This solution is compatible with Prince [6] but we don’t have any LaTeX to XML converters as we don’t use LaTeX as input/authoring format.
There is also lightweight XHTML based solution [7] for those who either is not familiar with XML/CSS or does not like XML approach. In future when capabilities of CSS3 in general and its math module (if any) in paticular will be clearly outlined we plan to amend current experimental markup
and turn it into more powerful environment for authoring of mathematical articles.
