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