  ASCIIMathML.js
  ==============
  This file contains JavaScript functions to convert ASCII math notation
  to Presentation MathML. The conversion is done while the XHTML page 
  loads, and should work with Internet Explorer 6 + MathPlayer 
  (http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/) and Mozilla/Netscape 7+.
  This is a convenient and inexpensive solution for authoring MathML.
