- Reading: MathML in Emacs for Web
I see many tedious but no easy way of creating a website with tables of MathML-based equations. I want to use Emacs, but is there a better way like how Mathematica and Word handle equations interactively?
When I write a page for my website, I use web-mode in Emacs with a CSS file open on the side. It's nothing complicated, as every page is only static HTML5. I want to eventually write a CGI engine to process little scripts that stand-in for pages, which I will eventually do.
However, for now, if I have a table, I use orgtbl-mode, and I use radios to generate HTML5 from Org tables. But how would I embed an equation not as a picture but as multi-line MathML?
The only way I see is by having the last column of some Org table be of unbound length, then have a little Elise function read and write from and to the cell, with an interactive Gui opened in the interim for modifying the MathML. This cell is just flattened MathML.
I am rather new to emacs, and I am stuck on Windows for now. Without inventing this GUI, how would I solve my problem?

Blame random bloggers.
I almost have this, but it lacks easy shortcuts.
I make a MathML string in Mathematica of one line . This is my "equation designer". Note Mathematica likes to randomly insert newlines if the window width is too small.
I copy and paste this string into the cell I am interested in.
Wala, success, except the orgtbl-to-html translator (elisp) thinks I want to represent the cell literally.
Next is to find the translator and either have a directory variable telling it "yes, I want you to act retarded", or store that variable in the column, or override that function either in a new hook to web-mode or else as a global redefinition in my . Emacs file.
Can anyone help?
Well okay so I add :noescape t.

Inhibits escaping five or so special characters.

But this does not inhibit escaping < or >. Nooo, how the hell do I reimplement this....
Son of a gun, finally. There are two special-character escapes available for an Org major- or minor-mode exporter. An orgtbl translator is somehow a subset of the exporter. There is a :noescape t thing, that inhibits escaping some characters, but to use raw html brackets < and >, one must use @@html:...@@ where the ellipses are replaced with html, or any other characters that shouldn't be escaped.

Holy crap I hate you all, you talk about emacs all day but not one of you know about it. Then there are IRCs and WeeChats and Noosgroups and what the fuck man.
