A: Yes, this is possible with Version 1.2.1 (and later). Try
strokedasharray = "10 5 2 5"
in the ASCIIsvg Editor. (It works like the stroke-dasharray attribute in SVG.)
libNPSVG3.so in plugin directory ADOBE_SVG_VIEWER_PATH set to the full path of the SVG viewer
BTW I love asciiMathML and use it on my uniwakka wiki ``sum_{n=1}^{\infty}x^2`` -tim mckenna -timmck@cns.bu.edu
A: Currently the ASCIIsvg approach does not work with the ADOBE svgviewer on Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape (the problem is that the plugin does not communicate with the browser window, so javascript can't be used to insert new graphics elements). But as far as I know, ASCIIsvg does work with naive svg-enabled versions of Firefox and/or Mozilla. I've only tried it on Fedora with svg-enabled Mozilla, and there was an unresolved issue with text fonts (they didn't show up, and I didn't have enough insight into Fedora to figure out why in a reasonable amount of time). I would be interested to hear if it works for you. Note that (as per instructions on http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/svg/svgenabledmozillafirefox.html) one still has to install the Adobe svg viewer even though it is not used to display the svg.
I'm glad to hear ASCIIMathML is useful. I hope ASCIIsvg is another nice addition to communicating math on the web. -- Peter
A: No, at this point there is no ASCIIsvg command that implements clipping. Shouldn't be too hard to add, so perhaps in the next version I'll give it a try. -- Peter
A: In principle, yes. But it is quite difficult to make such documents cross-browser compatible, and there is not much agreement on what syntax should be used for the mathematical and graphical input notation. So for the foreseeable future, LaTeX->pdf->AdobeReaderPlugin remains the defacto standard (at least for static mathematical documents).
