WebEQ Math Tags

To invoke WebEQ in a web page, authors must use the Netscape APPLET tag:

<APPLET>

WebEQ is invoked with the standard Java <APPLET> tag.

To describe mathematical expressions to be rendered with WebEQ, authors must use the WebEQ math tags:

<SUB>, <SUP>

These tags control subscripts and superscripts. They can be specified with alignment options, and are used to specify limits for big operators like integrals.

<BOX>, <LEFT>, <RIGHT>, <OVER>,<CHOOSE>,<ATOP>

These tags can be used to create fractions, binomial coefficients or other vertically stacked expressions. They can also be used to force parentheses and other stretchy operators grow to match the height of an expression.

<VEC>,<HAT>, <BAR>, <TILDE>, <DOT>, <DDOT>

These tags are used to add math accents over characters or expressions.

<ABOVE>

This tag is used for vertically stacking text and stretchy horizontal symbols like curly braces or bars.

<T>,<B>, <BT>

These tags can be used to force upright or bolds fonts.

<SQRT>

This tag adds a square root. At the moment, other roots must be written as fractional exponents.

<ARRAY>, <ROW>, <ITEM>

The array tags are closely patterned on the corresponding LaTeX constructs. Column alignment can be specified, as well as delimiters.

In addition, WebEQ provides a number of math entities:

• Greek letters
• Arrows and dots
• operators and relations
• spacing and other miscellaneous symbols
