Hi there,

 

I$B!G(Bm working with a client that has a lot of content that contains chemical or equation $B!H(Bsymbols$B!I(B . Some examples are:

 

Chemical symbols:

Pb—chemical symbol for the element Lead

H₂O—chemical expression for Water

14
6C—chemical expression for Carbon-14 isotope

 

Equation symbols:

K_b—base association constant

$B-t(B--sigma, or sum

V_t—terminal velocity

 

Among other users of DITA, particularly for pharmaceutical or other STM content, are there any standards for how this kind of content is identified? Are other teams using MathML?

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance, Amber
