	text decoration with LateXSL</h1>
<p class="latex">
	We wouldn't be without the apostrophe, or
	text with ``curly double'' quotes and `curly single' quotes---or
	some dashes 1--10.
</p>
<div class="latex">
	\mathsf{font \tt dec\bf lar\rm ation}
	\quad \mbox{ and } \quad
	\mathsf{en\mathtt{vir}\mathbf{on}\mathrm{ment}} 
</div>
<p>The <code>\overline</code> command can be done with CSS <code>border</code>,
and, depending on the browser, looks OK, except that the line is over the
top line of the font, and this looks rather high on short characters.
This is approach objectionable on the grounds that it constitutes conveyance
of information by a presentation mechanism.  Tables could also be used, but
the objection is almost the same.
</p>
<div class="latex">
	\overline{\overline{a}^2 + \underline{xy} + \overline{\overline{z}}}
</div>
<p>The Unicode accent marks can be placed by CSS to render fairly well LaTeX
math accents.  Unfortunately, several browsers exhibit bugs related to 
window refresh with these.  Try re-loading the document, or re-sizing the
window.
</p>
<div class="latex">
	\mbox{accents} \hat{a} \breve{a} \grave{a} \bar{a} 
	\check{a} \acute{a} \tilde{a} \vec{a} 
	\dot{a} \ddot{a}
</div>
<p>Some of the AMS-TeX field symbols
<span class="latex">
	&#x2102; &#x210D; &#x2115; &#x2119; &#x211A; &#x211D; &#x2124;
</span>
	are available in low Unicode, but this is sort of cheating.
</p>
<p>
	In the high Unicode range 1D400-1D755 (Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols)
	is a full alphabet of blackboard bold style, as well as several script 
	styles, two German blackletter, and several styles of Greek
	alphabets.  Very few fonts support these, however.
	<span class="math">&#x1D700; &#x1D757; &#x1D7D9; &#x1D570; &#x1D510; &#x1D4E0; &#x1D553;</span>
</p>
<p>There is a Unicode character meant to put an arc over two short characters.
It works, so long as it <em>is not</em> wrapped in HTML. So it can't 
be styled to go over two capital letters, or to be a little bigger to
span three letters.
