%D When the Math4All project started, we immediately started using content \MATHML.
%D Because in school math there is often a reference to calculator input, we also
%D provided what we called \quote {calcmath}: a predictable expression based way
%D entering math. At some point \OPENMATH\ was also used but that was later
%D abandoned because editing is more cumbersome.
%D
%D Due to limitations in the web variant (which is independent of rendering for
%D paper but often determines the coding of document, not seldom for the worse) the
%D switch was made to presentational \MATHML. But even that proved to be too complex
%D for rendering on the web, so it got converted to so called \ASCIIMATH\ which
%D can be rendered using some \JAVASCRIPT\ magic. However, all the formulas (and
%D we're talking of tens of thousands of them) were very precisely coded by the main
%D author. Because in intermediate stages of the editing (by additional authors) a
%D mixture of \MATHML\ and \ASCIIMATH\ was used, we wrote the first version of this
%D module. As reference we took \url
%D {http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/asciimath.html} and. The idea was to
%D stick to \MATHML\ as reference and if needed use \ASCIIMATH\ as annotation.
%D
%D Eventually we ended up with supporting several math encodings in \CONTEXT\ that
%D could be used mixed: content \MATHML\ (preferred), presentation \MATHML\ (often
%D messy), \OPENMATH\ (somewhat minimalistic) calcmath (handy for students who are
%D accustomed to calculators), \ASCIIMATH\ (to make web support easier) and of
%D course \TEX.
%D
%D The first version had some limitations as we didn't want to support all quirks of
%D \ASCIIMATH\ and also because I was not really in the mood to write a complex parser
%D when a bit of sane coding can work equally well. Some comments from that version:
%D
%D \startnarrower
%D \startitemize
%D \item We support only the syntactically clear variants and as long as lpeg does
%D not support left recursion this is as far as we want to go.
%D \item The parser is rather insensitive for spaces but yet the advice is to avoid
%D weird coding like \type {d/dxf(x)} but use \type {d/dx f(x)} instead. After
%D all we're not in a compact coding cq.\ parser challenge.
%D \item We also don't support the somewhat confusing \type {sqrt sqrt 2} nor \type
%D {root3x} (although the second one kind of works). A bit of defensive coding
%D does not hurt.
%D \item We can process \type {a/b/c/d} but it's not compatible with the default
%D behaviour of \ASCIIMATH. Use grouping instead. Yes, we do support the somewhat
%D nonstandard grouping token mix.
%D \item You should use explicit \type {text(..)} directives as one can never be sure
%D what is a reserved word and not.
%D \stopitemize
%D
%D Actually, as the only parsing sensitive elements of \TEX\ are fractions (\type {\over}
%D and friends, a restricted use of \TEX\ coding is probably as comprehensive and
%D parsable. The webpage with examples served as starting point so anything beyond
%D what can be found there isn't supported.
%D \stopnarrower
%D
%D Then in 2014 something bad happened. Following the fashion of minimal encoding
%D (which of course means messy encoding of complex cases and which can make authors
%D sloppy too) the web based support workflow of the mentioned project ran into some
%D limitations and magically one day all carefully coded \MATHML\ was converted into
%D \ASCIIMATH. As there was no way to recover the original thousands of files and
%D tens of thousands of formulas we were suddenly stuck with \ASCIIMATH. Because the
%D conversion had be done automagically, we also saw numerous errors and were forced
%D to come up with some methods to check formulas. Because \MATHML\ poses some
%D restrictions it has predictable rendering; \ASCIIMATH\ on the other hand enforces
%D no structure. Also, because \MATHML\ has to be valid \XML\ it always processes.
%D Of course, during the decade that the project had run we also had to built in
%D some catches for abuse but at least we had a relatively stable and configurable
%D subsystem. So, in order to deal with less predictable cases as well as extensive
%D checking, a new \ASCIIMATH\ parser was written, one that could also be used to
%D trace bad coding.
%D
%D Because the formal description is incomplete, and because some links to resources
%D are broken, and because some testing on the web showed that sequences of characters
%D are interpreted that were not mentioned anywhere (visible), and because we noticed
%D that the parser was dangerously tolerant, the new code is quite different from the
%D old code.
%D
%D One need to keep in mind that because spaces are optional, the only robust way to
%D edit \ASCIIMATH\ is to use a \WYSIWYG\ editor and hope that the parser doesn't
%D change ever. Keys are picked up from spaceless sequences and when not recognized
%D a (sequence) of characters is considered to be variables. So, \type {xsqrtx} is
%D valid and renders as \type {$x\sqrt{x}$}, \type {xx} becomes \type {×} (times)
%D but \type {ac} becomes \type {$a c$} (a times c). We're lucky that \type {AC} is
%D not turned into Alternating Current, but who knows what happens a few years from
%D now. So, we do support this spaceless mess, but users are warned: best use a
%D spacy sequence. The extra amount of spaces (at one byte each) an author has to
%D include in his|/|her active writing time probably stays below the size of one
%D holiday picture. Another complication is that numbers (in Dutch) use commas instead
%D of periods, but vectors use commas as well. We also hav esome different names for
%D functions which then can conflict with the expectations about collapsed variables.
%D
%D It must be noted that simplified encodings (that seem to be the fashion today)
%D can demand from applications to apply fuzzy logic to make something work out
%D well. Because we have sequential data that gets rendered, sometimes wrong input
%D gets obscured simply by the rendering: like the comma's in numbers as well as
%D for separators (depending on space usage), or plain wrong symbols that somehow
%D get a representation anyway. This in itself is more a side effect of trying to
%D use the simplified encoding without applying rules (in the input) or to use it
%D beyong its intended usage, which then of course can lead to adapted parsers and
%D catches that themselves trigger further abuse. Imagine that instead of developing
%D new cars, planes, space ships, mobile phones, computers we would have adapted
%D horse cars, kites, firework, old fashioned phones and mechanical calculators in a
%D similar way: patch upon patch of traditional means for sure would not have
%D worked. So, when you use \ASCIIMATH\ best check immediately how it gets rendered
%D in the browser as well as on paper. And be prepared to check the more complex
%D code in the future again. We don't offer any guarantees but of course will try to
%D keep up.
%D
%D In retrospect I sometimes wonder if the energy put into constantly adapting to
%D the fashion of the day pays off. Probably not. It definitely doesn't pay of.
