check if it is getting rendered as an image rather than mathml

For exercises I am currently generating this tag:

<example id="a0000001065" role="exercise">

In the PDF, this should be rendered as Exercise x.x.

But at the moment it is Example x.x

Should I generate different DocBook?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open pdf
2. highlight a link in the text
3. copy it. You know how strange symbols in your clipboard

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
UTF-8 formatted

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
chrome pdf, english language setting

Please provide any additional information below.

Move definition to the latexonly section?

in the thinkstats.py module, the Trim function creates a (documented) side 
effect of sorting the sequence that is passed in as a parameter.  Instead of 
using the sort() method on the list, use the sorted builtin to sort the values 
into another array.

Existing code --

def Trim(t, p=0.01):
    t.sort()
    n = int(p * len(t))
    t = t[n:-n]
    return t

Proposed code --

def Trim(t, p=0.01):
    sorted_t = sorted(t)
    n = int(p * len(sorted_t))
    return sorted_t[n:-n]

Of course, the comments and documentation would have to be updated as well.

Table on page 6 should have lines between the columns.

Or if not, I will add some space between columns.

display math is too small and looks terrible

There was a missing '\' in front of "ref{evidence}" and so in the pdf copy of 
the book (version 0.22) the text is rendered as "refevidence" instead of "12".

This turns out to be a problem with tralics.

If an expression contains both \mathit and \frac, tralics generates a spurious }

I have submitted a bug report

The book refers to thinkstats.com site. This site isn't accessible from my 
computer, neither it is indexed in Google, since search for 
"site:thinkstats.com" returns 0 results

On page 111 the first formula contains spurious commas that are not (as far as 
I can see) in the mathml.

Ah, now I see the problem.  mfenced generates separators between elements.  
Three possible solutions:

1) Get tralics to generate something other than mfenced

2) Get tralics to generate mfenced with no separators

3) Get the mathml renderer in Atlas to render mfenced with no separators

Example on page 4

p(B_1)  the _1 should be a subscript

paintball figure has dark background

Get rid of the redundant Chapter Chapter and Section Section

The LaTeX expression $A$ is getting translated into

<emphasis role="math">A</emphasis>

which should generate italics, shouldn't it?

The <bar> tag seems to have no effect.  Here's the DocBook:

<mathit id="a0000007188">
<bar id="a0000001871">
    <plastex:arg name="self">H</plastex:arg>
</bar></mathit>

The result is just an H with no bar.

Should I be generating different DocBook, or does this have to be mathML?
