After 10 days, there haven't been any responses on my Amaya question.
(The responses were more about the XHTML script than the particular
question about "make book").
I'm beginning to wonder if anyone uses Amaya. I'm now starting to see
some pragmatic issues about adhering to w3 standards. In particular
standard characters (i.e. ← and →) don't show up properly in
IE. I've managed to use OpenOffice Draw to create some SVG graphics,
which show up properly in a standalone browser window, but the "embed"
choice doesn't seem to bring up a resizable image under either IE or
Firefox. (The SVG actually doesn't show up correctly in Amaya).
If there's a better place to be asking Amaya questions, I'd appreciate
a pointer. Thanks.

For me, they do. The arrows U+2190 to U+2195 are included in WGL4.
Internet Explorer should have no problem with them.

Didn't seem that way to me. I had a look, but I couldn't really work out
exactly what you were wanting to do, and the Amaya documentation was even
more unclear.

I've used Amaya occasionally. But like any attempt as WYSIWYG authoring,
they all have their foibles. I've generally only used it as a quick way to
type up a very plain HTML document, which I was then going to spruce up by
hand. It saves me typing in various elements when I just want to type as
if I were at a typewriter.
Those characters do show up on my MSIE. I suppose it depends on which
version of MSIE is installed, and whether any installed fonts are suitable
for drawing those glyphs.

You'll find SVG support quite poor in various browsers, and requiring
manual installation of plug-ins. I'd probably only use it if I had to, and
in a controlled enviroment, at this stage. For instance, if you were
writing a document using diagrams for a physics department, you might need
it's abilities, and everyone else might have it already installed because
they need it all the time, too.
