as i see it (and i just googled about it) xina creates MathML code.
and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML) and
some tests i have done, browsers don't support this. wel... nightly
builts versions do. don't know much about MathML but will look into
this.

you will not get your wish :) i was aware of this problem and that is
why we decided to do it a bit different this time. interface is not
finished, so it might look like there could be a problem with this.
having folders creates some additional problems (like, broken link
when you rename chapter; we need to do url magic and change chapter
content when doing exports and imports and etc...). the idea is to
have one central place where you have all attachments (problem is you
will not be able to have 2 attachments with the same name) but have
different "views" for that attachment container. views like "images
from current chapter", "uploaded today" and etc... some kind of
virtual folders that would help you with your search. still not sure
how it will look like at the end, but i am pretty sure it will work
just fine :) managing system with folders is tricky... for instance,
you put 3 images in chapter "Introduction". then you decide to put
that chapter out of the TOC, and that means attachments from that
chapter will not be exported to Objavi. at the end... you get broken
links. there are ways how to handle that (like with everything), but i
decided to have very simple system to handle attachments in the
background, and create smart UI for it. will see how it will end.
