MathML widget : XML or HTML elements?

[Ellis Whitehead]

I have a MathML widget working in khtml now.  Currently all the text between 
the <math> & </math> tags gets passed to the KMathMLView widget, which parses 
it using the QDom-classes.  There are a couple major short-comings here: 1) 
style settings aren't handled and 2) the nodes aren't externally accessable 
(e.g. via javascript).

How should I make the MathML nodes javascript accessable?

One possibility would be to use the ElementImpl class as a parent for the 
(currently internal) KMathML node classes so that each child node is made a 
part of the khtml DOM tree, but then do I need to create both XML & HTML 
element implementations?  So far, I've created HTMLMathElement* and 
RenderMath classes, added ID_MATH the tokens list, and edited htmlparser.cpp 
and htmltokenizer.cpp to handle the <math> tag.  I'm betting that this is the 
wrong way to go about it.  MathML is, after all, an XML spec, so there must 
be some way to make khtml aware of the XML definition?  In order to get full 

Furthermore, I currently have formatting defaults hardcoded into the widget 
(such as the % font size of superscripts).  I'd rather have this defined by a 
CSS style sheet.  How do you read in a style sheet?

Thanks,
Ellis
