Extended Capabilities in Web browsers

The following areas are the subject of active development within the Web community. Limited support is available within LATEX2HTML for some of these features, using the -html_version 4.0 command-line switch.
   
style-sheets:
proposals for a flexible mechanism to allow cascading (CSS) and DSSSL, within HTML 4.0.    
XML:
eXtensible Markup Language.

   

MathML:
Mathematical Markup Language.

   

CML:
Chemical Markup Language.

 

Fonts:
further support for non-standard font encodings.

 

Icons:
Alternative sets of icons for navigation buttons and other purposes.
For some background on these technologies read   Michel Goossens' survey article ``Hyper-activity in the Web-world'' in CERN Computer Newsletter No. 227, and browse   Axel Ramge's site for ideas on how they could be used with LATEX2HTML.
