Well I just now tried using some sample mathml in a Quickbase record... It
just displays the mathml code itself, i.e. it doesn't display an equation...

Maybe they can be persuaded-- I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask them about
it.... It would be a nice feature for Quickbase in general to be able to
have fields that have "HTML" or "MathML" or "XML" data type, where Quickbase
would provide an appropriate presentation engine for data in such fields....

Intuit provides Quickbase for free to the public, for small databases...
Once a quickbase gets over a certain size, they charge a monthly fee. Viz.
https://www.quickbase.com/p/cost.stm The Coda database is still small
enough that there isn't any charge for it... If Coda were to reach the 2-15
megabyte size range, then we'd have to look for a source of $15/ month...
