Aesthetics
The original equations without the math formatting have a lot going for them. What do you think? --Paddy3118 21:08, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- The text format can be used for data input (as in the Python example) and the formatted fractions are a bit crowded (small line spacing).
- There are some odd text sizes now, the last identity [tan(-a)=-tan(a)] is in a smaller fontwith Firefox 16.0.2, anyone else see this?
- If we can't improve the current layout I would prefer the original format. TobyK 22:22, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

OCaml: Very long line
Could the OCaml be changed to indicate equality with one as a short true/false indicator rather than printing out the very long line? Thanks. --Paddy3118 21:24, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
