Andy,
I usually place the MathML in a separate file and include them when I need
to:
<equation ><title>Here is a nice
equation</title>
<xi:include
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="met-Math-template.xml" />
</equation>
Then the file looks like (under DB 4.5):
----
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!DOCTYPE mml:math PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD MathML
2.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/dtd/mathml2.dtd"
[
<!ENTITY % MATHML.prefixed
"INCLUDE">
<!ENTITY %
MATHML.prefix "mml">
]>
<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
id="mymath">
<mml:mrow>
<mml:mo>∑</mml:mo>
<mml:mn>4</mml:mn>
<mml:mo>+</mml:mo>
<mml:mi>x</mml:mi>
</mml:mrow>
</mml:math>

This works well for PDF (via Jeuclid/FOP), However, I still need to solve
the issue of HTML output, in the "most general" scenario, as some browsers don't
like MathML yet.
Has anyone used MathML with mediaobjects for both PDF and HTML?

Thanks
for your input Justus. I'll certainly take a look at
JEuclid.
Interesting to hear about how you embed math ml in docbook too
as that's
something I'll also need to
address.
Thanks
