Re: [eLyXer-users] Math display in browsers other than FireFox

[elyxer-users]

Hi Alex,

The array display problem in Safari is solved by the new lyx.css. Thanks a lot.

For the space display problem, I think eLyXer should make the output
compatible with as many browser as possible, using default options. My
reason is that an author can not control a reader's browser choice,
and we want to put the elyxer-converted document on the web.

IE8 can render the math test page correctly. I don't have IE7 or IE8,
so I used http://browsershots.org/ for the test. (My last email was
not delivered, so I deleted my screenshots this time)

Regards,
Xie Chao
