Clearspeak Recurring Decimal (\dot)
adamc-texthelp opened this issue · 1 comments
There seems to only be a rule for using \overline{}
when displaying recurring/repeating decimals. If you use the \dot{}
representation the generated text is very literal in comparison.
I suppose this is more of a feature request. Is there any chance of getting the same result for \dot{}
as we do for \overline{}
or is there a different latex command recommended for the dot notation?
Examples:
LaTeX: 2.\overline{34}
Spoken text: the repeating decimal 2 point followed by repeating digits 3 4
MathML:
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="block">
<mn>2.</mn>
<mover>
<mn>34</mn>
<mo accent="true">―</mo>
</mover>
</math>
LaTeX: 2.\dot{3}\dot{4}
Spoken text: 2 period 3 dot above 4 dot above
MathML:
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="block">
<mn>2.</mn>
<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">
<mover>
<mn>3</mn>
<mo>˙</mo>
</mover>
</mrow>
<mrow data-mjx-texclass="ORD">
<mover>
<mn>4</mn>
<mo>˙</mo>
</mover>
</mrow>
</math>
Thanks for the request.
I had a more elaborate heuristic for interpretation for multiple overaccents, ellipses etc. But at the time it broke too many things so I did not continue that line of work. I might be worth revisiting.
