Hi,
I think it would be a great feature if Drupal got the same math support as UniWakka:

http://uniwakka.sourceforge.net/HomePage

I'm thinking of doing a collaborative, scientific project and in this case the book style of Drupal is superior to the that of an (un)organized wiki.

Maybe you could at least implement ASCIIMath. There is a PHP-port here:
http://www.jcphysics.com/ASCIIMath/index.php

I would hate to give up Drupal which is the best CMS I've found.

You could add this by creating a filter module that can be used to parse the input math format. I wouldn't think that it would be that hard.

I took a look at the asciiMath, and this would be really easy, they even have an example of how to you would implement this. It would be quite easy to modify my phpsrc.module which is a filter that colourises php source embedded into the content.

You would just need to change the preg_replace to call the asciiMath filter.

Marking this non-critical, to provide it from sticking on top in drupal issues. If you do feel it is critical, please tell us why it is critical for drupal as a whole (that is what tha status is meant for) and set back to critical

I've started a module along these lines. It'll be moved into CVS when it gets a bit more polished.

This is what the filter system is for.
