Latex runs in (almost) constant time no matter how many pages are in the file.
latex with existing LatexTemplate takes 0.2s.  
    Removing all included packages takes 0.06-0.07s.  
dvips -E takes 0.04-0.05s (indep of latex template).
gs -sDEVICE=bbox takes 0.145s.
eqn2img gives this command to ghostscript:
      fprintf(gs, "%i neg %i neg translate\n", xoffset, yoffset);
    can I get it to print the bbox without restarting?
    Bounding Box printed in postscript by default is not tight.
latex + dvips -E + gs bbox + gs + custom code = 0.25s + custom / eqn.
pdflatex + gs
(bbox) selectdevice
(test.pdf) run
1 showpage      (runs a particular page)


Alignment:
    on hawk: 
        lowercase letters are exactly 8 pixels high (a,e, not y) 
            Helvetica (Adobe) 14pt
        Top of upper case letters to bottom of 'y' is 16px.
    on draal:
        lowercase letters are 9px, upper case plus 'y' is 15px.
        (recopy TODO* from hawk)
    Perhaps make all things less than 16px to 16px.  Can measure latex height
    with a little latex:
        \cdot Wj
    Make this 16px scalable (match browser with latex)
    anything else gets expanded by 2.

    || or \left|\right| is getting second bar (first?) chopped sometimes.

    1px too much is removed in 'e'.

    Change resolutions?

    Rendering comments:
        Stx is inserting <p>...</p> around every line.  When the whole page is
        rendered it does not handle the page and comments separately.  Comment
        headings should not be treated as Stx, and message bodies should only
        be treated as Stx if the PageType class calls for it.

    More timing tests.  I've switched to pslatex so I can use axodraw (requires
    postscript specials so doesn't work with pdflatex)  dvips can spit out an
    eps with a tight bbox for each page, which could speed things up significantly.
    Timing tests on draal (600MHz alpha 21164), 512MB RAM)

    gs does not produce pnggray files that are the correct resolution for an 8.5x11 page.
    scale factor is 1.063 (DPI larger than requested)
    Is it only imaging a sub-region of the page?
    produces the proper resolution:
        gs-gnu 7.05 daneel 
        /usr/local/bin/gs 8.11 on moya
        gs-aladdin 7.04 on moya
        gs-gnu 7.07 on moya
        gs-esp 7.07 on moya

    Size/Align/Res combinations that look good:
        18  0     0.97  Times New Roman
        17  0     1.03  
        16  0.5   0.97  

StructuredTextLatex changes:
    remove ZWikiPage.applyWikiLinkLineEscapesIn (not needed)
    remove ZWikiPage.protectLine
    remove ZWikiPage.links (not used)           (note dtml-accessable but not used)
    remove ZWikiPage.canonicalLinks (not used)  (note dtml-accessable but not used)
    wikilink() called from DTML should really call ZWikiPage.renderLink

    How to do mathml with tex4ht:
        1) include:
            \usepackage[xhtml,mathml,no-DOCTYPE]{tex4ht}
           in document preamble
        2) latex $1.tex

           t4ht -f/$1.tex
        3) 
            import sys
            from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2
            from xml.dom.ext import Print

            reader = Sax2.Reader()
            document = reader.fromStream(sys.stdin)
            for math in document.getElementsByTagName('math'):
                #... math is the MathML, in order it appeared in the document.

    The altimg tag may be parsable by XSLT into an img tag.
    Konqueror is pickier about XML than Mozilla -- use it to check
MathML rendering errors:
    mi { margin: -0.15em; } does not get applied to mi's in super/subscript.
    spacing if <mi>sin</mi> sin is inconsistent -- i-n has more space than s-i.

    Plone interaction:
        got plone quick installer working

        Plone uses a <base href="http://localhost/Plone"> tag which gives the
        WRONG page for the one you're looking at, and makes <a name> links
        fail.

        restore ALLOWED_PAGE_TYPES_IN_PLONE?  need to remove wwml for plone...
