Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook with Math ML/Latex => PDF
All,

In my application, I need to do both PDF and HTML. I would like to do it 
similar to a mediaobject and use "role" to differentiate the processign path 
needed.

 

<equation>

   <mediaobject>

       <imageobject role="html"> 
.....</imageobject>

       <textobject 
role="pdf">  **include the MML file ***  
</textobject>

   </mediaobject>

</equation>

 

Something like that. But what is the preferred way of including MathML in a 
mediaobject? Or is there a more sane manner in which to go about this 
task?

Agreed on markup Ben, I meant to answer the 
  questions this thread has 
raised? I.e. taking mathml embedded right 
  through to print and html.

Basically the rendering side of math - which 
  \tex does so well.

This thread is starting to tease out some solutions 
  - if we can
get feedback from those investigating further we might be 
  able
to paint a clearer picture of what is good for 
  what.
