There is an ongoing discussion on the mailing concerning this idea:
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Latex-equation-support-in-the-documentation-created-by-generate-html-package-td4677129.html

On the one hand, it seems that this has already been discussed, and that MathJax would be a relevant alternative to jsMath.  I have no idead if it is better or not.  I would be nice if someone could summarize the main existing alternatives for displaying maths in HTML documents, together with their respective advantages and drawbacks (with references !).

On the other hand, the generate_html package does not have to make an exclusive choice about this issue. I could perfectly imagine having several options for the production of equations, and an option to choose the one that is actually used.

Please unconsidered the comment #1 and comment #2

I am trying upload a tar.gz file or zip, but I can't.
If the file is not attached here, them please:


# The jsMath/ directory has uncompressed versions of:
# jsMath-3.6e.zip jsMath-fonts-1.3.zip jsMath-fonts-sprite-1.0.zip
# of site http://www.math.union.edu/~dpvc/jsMath/

Attaching jsMath.tar.gz

I like propose to use JavaScript to give Latex equation support
in texinfo source documentation created by generate_html package.

I am attaching a zip file (jsMath.zip) with a modified jsMath code.
this package should be uncompressed in the directory:
http://octave.sourceforge.net/

Below, I am attaching the file jsMath_octave-forge_changes.diff
with a list of my modifications over jsMath code in the jsMath.tar.gz file.



Now to use this JavaScript code only need to made:

jsMath_head_code = [ ...
        "<STYLE> #jsMath_Warning {display: none} </STYLE>\n" ...
        "<SCRIPT SRC=\"../../jsMath/easy/load.js\"></SCRIPT>\n"];
adding_jsMath    = [" --set-customization-variable 'EXTRA_HEAD ", jsMath_head_code, "'"];


options = get_html_options ("octave-forge");
options.package_doc="overview.texi";
options.package_doc_options=[options.package_doc_options, adding_jsMath];
generate_package_html ("bsltl", "bsltl_html", options);


the result can be seen in the next page:

http://nongnu.org/bsltl/bsltl_refman/bsltl/package_doc/index.html


Please I would to know your comments about this proposal.
