#632 SVG instead of MathJax?

[Lee Worden]

In fixing up Wikipedia (via the Math extension) to use LaTeXML instead of the scary oCaml program it used to use, the developers decided to have it produce MathML for appropriate browsers, and for the rest, rather than MathJax, to output the math as vector images using SVG. Very elegant. They did this by teaching LaTeXML to output SVG, and I believe that's in the current releases of LaTeXML. So we could try using SVG for non-Firefox browsers.

I tried converting whole .tex documents to SVG for the browser, but found that it can take a long time for the browser to display it. It's possible that a page full of SVG math expressions could have the same problem (but slower than mathjax??). But assuming it just takes an extra command line argument to latexml, and a tweak to the makefile, it seems worth testing out.
