The visitor numbers have been running in that low range for a few days, but just now, in the last half hour or so they jumped into the 390s. This is truly a mystery.
Probably bots. Some might be search engine web crawlers. Others might be bots looking for a forum to spam.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Is this what you are looking for?
Remember that latex is all ascii. It doesn't know about fancy character sets.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

I learned mostly from the book (the Leslie Lamport book). The "La" part of "LaTeX" is from "Lamport". It is probably easier to look up online documentation.

Is this just an nroff and dBCodes thang, or can it be used in HTML?
It's a typesetting system oriented toward the use of mathematics. It existed before dBcodes or HTML ever existed. There is a "latex2html" command for linux. Also wordpress has a latex plugin for its blog software. And I think Google's "blogspot" has something similar. What typically happens with "latex2html", with the wordpress plugin and with dBcodes support, is that those use just the mathematics rendering part of latex. They use latex to typeset a mathematical formula, then make an image of that. Then the display the image in the web page. Percy would know more about that part, since he implemented it for his forum software.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

US Customary System of measurements (AKA "Imperial")
US Customary System and Imperial System are two different systems. That "AKA" is wrong.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

I grew up in Australia, where we used the imperial pint, imperial gallon. So I am more conscious of the distinction than most Americans.
And yes, we should all move to metric. Edited by nwr, : No reason given.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

My other metric web page -- and the original one -- will look into the failed history of the US going metric and examine the false reasons people give for rejecting the metric system.
I just look at all of the people who are refusing to wear face masks during a pandemic. There's no way that such people can be persuaded to switch to metric. Yes, there are valid reasons. But they are reasons to phase in the change over a sufficiently extended period of time.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity
