2. Questions From Formax

Q We have a question for this project, please see Book Cataneo_1559, 012.jpg, how to code the function in left margin of this page? There are many same situations in this book, can you give us a rule to code such margin text?

A As regards the formulas in the margins in Cataneo_1559, please type them as follows:

Type figures, fractions and operators as they occur and leave out any other horizontal rules.

• Example 1 (​012.jpg):

  <mgl>
  3457.12.6
  579.19.11
  4635.8.8
  29.13.10
  388.6.9
  45.15.7
  9136.17.3
  </mgl>
  

• Example 2 (​066.jpg):

  <mgl>
  8) 5 {1/3} [ 7.3 {1/2}
  {17/3}={119/2}
  {3/1} X {2023/6}
  48
  2023 [ 42 {7/48}
  192
  103
  96
  7
  </mgl>
  

Q Please see the reply from Mr. Klaus Thoden on 20 Oct 2010 12:41:18 +0200 for Book Cataneo_1559, in that reply, we need leave out any horizontal rules, in our opinion, we should code the margin data as:

Example 1 (012.jpg):

<mgl>

<math>3457.12.6

579.19.11

4635.8.8

29.13.10

388.6.9

45.15.7

9136.17.3</math>

</mgl>

Example 2 (066.jpg):

<mgl>

<math>8) 5 {1/3} [ 7.3 {1/2}

{17/3}={119/2}

{3/1} X {2023/6}

48

2023 [ 42 {7/48}

192

103

96

7</math>

</mgl>

Are they right?
