The following reader apps don't seem able to handle the current way of exporting formulae:
The following do:
Perhaps it would be more portable to the less capable ereader engines to use PNG images rather than SVG?
Example: the brace from https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Poet_Lore/Volume_34/Number_1/Raduz_and_Mahulena#2
Moon+Reader initial view:
Moon+Reader "HTML correct" view:
Koreader:
(When you wrote MoonReader+, did you mean Moon+Reader?)
Are there tickets in the issue trackers of MoonReader and Koreader to support displaying SVG instead? (Wouldn't that make more sense?)
Yes I mean Moon+Reader. :-)
I have reported upstream too, but these aren't the only ones. The Kobo native reader also doesn't show the full formula, it cuts off bits of the right-hand side.
Koreader: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/7026 (known issue apparently)
Moon+ Reader: doesn't have an issue tracker, sent an email
Kobo: ditto
I don't have a Kindle so I can't check that one.
Anyway, it does rather seem to me that lacklustre support is widespread enough that maybe we should consider pre-empting it with less "tricksy" images?
Aside: ImageMagick can't handle these SVGs either.
Also, while the above example is more of an annoyance, in a document like https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Michelson-Morley_Experiment_and_the_Dimensions_of_Moving_Bodies, lack of formulae is rather more fatal to the reading experience.
The Moon+ reader author has said that this is not supported by the SVG library used on Android and is therefore not gong to be fixed.
