Re: [Fwd: [GTKMathView] ANN: gtkmathview 0.5.1, gtkmathview-bonobo 0.0.1]

Well, when I see MathML, I think of the Docs and the Help for the
functions that could display formulas. So it would be great if gnumeric
could use this.
I don't recall what the long term plans for bonobo support in gnumeric
were. Is bonobo needed to use gtkmathview for displaying formulas in
docs or help files?
Or could the algorithms/functions be copy-pasted into gnumeric to give
it this feature?
