Displaying MathML in CKEditor

Issue 1:
At present CKEditor mangles math tags so that when the textarea content is submitted "invalid-markup" is shown when the contents are rendered in the browser. It seems to add a lot of <msup></msup> <ml></ml> tags among others.

Is there a way to tell CKEditor not to modify anything that is inside <math> tags?

The second issue is to display mathml properly in the edit area:
The code found at (http://www1.chapman.edu/~jipsen/mathml/ ... oxAndIE.js) can be used to convert math tags to displayable math formulas - basically it replaces the nodes with a namespaced element. So, if I can resolve issue one, then how to use the convert() function found in the above referred js.

Pointers to way forward much appreciated.

thanks,

Problem one is you need to push an entry onto the ProtectedSource config property which is the regex to match your tags. It won't show up in WYSIWYG mode but will be preserved in source.

Problem two would probably require you to write a plugin, especially to render in realtime.

I have written a plugin which I will make available on the web and post a link here soon.
