Re: [docbook-apps] Master thesis in DocBook

[Per Zetterlund <perze@foi.se>]

Hi Paul,

The thesis is on Statistical Signal Processing and thus involves mainly

and sums as the most advanced formulas. I've been a bit reluctant to 
writing it in LaTeX,
because I know virtually nothing about it, while I know MathML (and XML 
in general)
farily well.
