JDK-8210970 : MathML editing issues in HTMLEditor

[scientificware]

The purpose of this issue is to make mathematic editing as simple as possible.

Presently, the patch for JDK-8147476 (Rendering issues with MathML token elements. #117) allows to display MathML formula in WebView. Consequently we can also work with MathML in HTMLEditor, the MathML rendering is pretty good but :

• a common user can not easily insert a mathematic formula in a HTMLEditor.
• trying to modify a formula will occurate some trouble in your document.
  HTMLEditor is clearly not ready yet for formula editing. It still needs some work to solve issues.

This is tracked in JBS as

• JDK-8210970

Details in my working fork JDK-8210970 : MathML editing issues in HTMLEditor #26. The tasks jauge below sums up advancements.

If there are still rendering problems with using MathML in an HTMLEditor, then JBS issue JDK-8089878 can be used to track this.
