I have been experimenting with producing small document snippets in LaTeXML - slowly building up to more complex documents, and one of the first stumbling points has been the inclusion of greek characters. I am observing that when the html file is opened in internet explorer or is opened by right click -> edit (opens in MS word) the greek characters are inserted but immediately followed by the code that produced them. Almost identical to the individual elements observed in the tabular presentation of greek characters listed here: http://web.ift.uib.no/Teori/KURS/WRK/TeX/sym1.html In opera however no symbol appears, just the \alpha etc.
doc.Tex file (contents below) is compiled using a bat file with the command:
latexml --includestyles --noparse --dest=doc.xml doc.tex | latexmlpost --dest=doc.html doc.xml
on a windows machine with miktex and strawberry perl
\documentclass[letter]{report}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Math Test}
\section{A few Greek characters}
$\alpha$
$\beta$
$\gamma$
$\Gamma$
$\delta$
$\Delta$
$\pm$
How did these display?
\end{document}
Produced HTML Code: Unfortunately the option and the 4 space tags are not preventing the parsing of the code when I paste it in, so I might need an edit here to show the code in it's unparsed form.
