Arjen Markus (18 december 2002) The script below is a first (well, second) attempt to render mathematical formulae in a canvas. It is far from complete, and if I ever finish it, it will probably end up totally differently, but it works to a certain degree with a certain class of formulae.
Several people, among whom Lars Hellstrom and Kevin Kenny, provided useful information on existing algorithms, such as the one used in TeX, and pointers to articles by Brian Kernighan [L1 ].
