557481 - MathML start/demo pages: remove the alternate TeX and Mathematica stylesheets

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: MathML, defect)

Description

[Frédéric Wang (:fredw)]

The start pages as well as other demos provide some alternate stylesheets

<link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="TeX" href="tex.css" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="Mathematica" href="mathematica.css" />

This was initially aimed at comparing the rendering of different fonts. However, these two fonts are no longer recommended and are in unwanted categories 3 and 4 of bug 400938 comment 0 (personnaly, when I select View->Page Style->Tex, some symbols become wrong). When we support more Unicode fonts for stretching, it will be possible to add alternate stylesheets for STIX, Cambria, Asana...

I think it would be a good idea to wait support for Asana Math which is underway (bug 407439). Then we can replace Tex/Mathematica by STIX/Asana.

Other things to remember:

1) remove -moz-math-font-style-stretchy ("old: compatible with pre-1.4 builds"). I believe it is the only remaining issue that prevents to close bug 346222.

2) change the comments/examples about -moz-math-stretchy in mozilla-central.

find mathml/ | xargs grep "\-"moz"\-"math"\-"stretchy

mathfont.properties:# :-moz-math-stretchy in mathml.css.
mathml.css:   mo[myfonts="tex"]::-moz-math-stretchy {
mathml.css:   mo[myfonts="mathematica"]::-moz-math-stretchy {
mathml.css:   ::-moz-math-stretchy {
mathml.css:::-moz-math-stretchy {
nsMathMLChar.cpp:    stretchy fonts held by the leaf style context (from -moz-math-stretchy in

I don't know if the UI to choose stylesheets is still relevant since Firefox no longer have a menu bar by default and we have to use Alt + V. But at least, these patches remove the old TeX/Mathematica code.

It seems that I forgot the changes that were outside the demo/ dir.
